O2 Boostbox User Manual

Bandwidth Requirements
Boostbox – Setup and Installation Guide V3.5
The following two tables show the typical data speeds required to support Boostbox deployments. It should be
noted that if you provide a completely separate connection for each unit, e.g. 2 standalone broadband lines for 2
units, then this classes as 2 separate installations of 1 unit NOT 1 installation of 2 units.
If you only require voice, text and basic email service (no requirement to download large attachments such as
PowerPoint presentations), then table 1 can be used. If you expect high data usage such as web surfing, social
networking etc. then table 2 should be used. We always recommend you encourage people to use WiFi where
available. This minimises the bandwidth requirements for the Boostbox installation which in turn will reduce the
chance of voice service being adversely impacted during peak data use periods.
