What is bandwidth? How much bandwidth does Jive require?
Bandwidth is a measure of how much data can be moved from one point to another in given unit of time. Bandwidth is measured in kilobits, and is frequently referred to as the size of your Internet connection.

Each concurrent call requires 90 kilobits per second of bandwidth—both upload and download. For example, a T1 has 1.5 megabits per second or 1500 kilobits per second. This connection can carry around 15 concurrent calls.

Be aware that other devices in your office may also use bandwidth. If an office has computers on the same Internet connection as the telephones, they may use up all their available bandwidth. This could cause a breakdown in voice quality.
