Recommendations to improve latency

There are many factors and combinations of factors that affect latency. From your company tools, IT systems and set-ups, required data volume and data types, to the combination of CDF features and applications, no deployment is identical. Still, there are some basic guidelines that you can use as part of your planning or troubleshooting for latency.

• To use basic 3D and Search functionality, we recommend a minimum required bandwidth of 30Mbps or more.

• To load a canvas, we recommend a minimum required bandwidth of 10-15Mbps.

• To use InField on a tablet, we recommend a minimum required bandwidth of 10Mbps.

  • If the bandwidth drops to 2.2Kbps or lower, it triggers the offline mode in InField. When you're back online, all data collected offline will be uploaded. For more information about the offline mode, refer to Work offline.

• To use Spot in InRobot, we recommend a minimum required bandwidth of 5Mbps or more.
  • Video streaming for Spot requires a minimum bandwidth of 200-2000Mpbs, depending on the streaming quality set.

We also recommend using the most up-to-date browser that's compatible with your operating system.
