What are the Computer Requirements?
The REI Broadcast platform requires a web browser and Internet access supporting Adobe Flash. Users have successfully used the software on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. We recommend a minimum 2GB of RAM.
What if I am experiencing poor voice quality?
80% of voice quality issues are the result of the end user’s internet connection. High quality voice conversations require an extremely consistent (low jitter) connection to our servers. To isolate possible problems, we recommend network administrators download Colasoft Ping Tool and setup a continuous ping to 1) our server and 2) a constant server like google.com. Poor voice quality caused by the network will manifest itself in any packet loss in excess of 1%. REI Broadcast recommends always using a WIRED (not wi-fi) always-on connection like Fiber or Broadband Cable. In certain situations where the internet connection is being shared it might be necessary to implement VoIP QoS on your router. Please consult your network administrator for further instructions.
