The user experience in Smart Build Insight depends on having a good network connection and the impact on Smart Build Insight's performance by the network is different with respect to network speed and quality. Network speed can be measured in terms of latency and bandwidth. Network quality is measured in various ways but packet loss is most significant to Smart Build Insight.
-
For network speed, the impact on Smart Build Insight's performance is linear; i.e. for a given increase in latency and a given decrease in bandwidth, there is a proportional reduction in performance.
-
For network quality the impact on Smart Build Insight's performance is exponential; i.e. for a given increase in % of packets lost, Smart Build Insight performance degrades exponentially. Greater than 5% packet loss would probably render Smart Build Insight unusable and the network should be investigated.
Another variable could be your role and the features of Smart Build Insight you use most often. Any operations involving the 3D model will usually result in the largest downloads and are most dependent upon the network.
Since what constitutes acceptable vs unacceptable performance is subjective, we don’t
publish strict requirements.
Web Application
We recommend that your network has a minimum download speed of 30 Mbps and the latency should not exceed 300 ms.
Mobile Applications
Mobile applications have been designed to require smaller data downloads, and therefore require less download speed than the web application.
Bandwidth indicates the amount of data your network can transmit in a fixed measure of time. It simply means capacity.
Speed indicates the amount of data you receive every second.
More bandwidth does not mean more speed.
