Network performance

Uninterrupted, consistent network performance is required for a good experience with the Sharpen platform. Due to the inherent nature of Voice interactions to be real-time, we need consistency in the underlying network. Otherwise, users may experience dropped calls, choppy call quality, latency, or an overall slow experience.

Recommendations

  • <150ms latency to *.sipvbx.com (example: us1-webrtc-11.sipvbx.com for east coast US, or us2-webrtc-02.sipvbx.com for west coast US)

  • Average latency variation < 30ms

    • High variation represents interruption to your connection. This may be a result of competing network traffic, or general hardware/network instability

    • While high latency on its own simply means delay, latency variation typically comes coupled with packet loss, which will mean dropped calls and/or choppy audio

  • >10Mb/s internet connection

    • While voice itself is a fairly light operation, we recommend having enough bandwidth to handle all your operations. This value is more of a guideline, rather than a requirement. Most importantly is making sure you’re not running out.

Microphone permissions

If using the Sharpen Q phone, which is based on WebRTC, it is important to have microphone permissions setup properly on both your operating system and web browser. See the guides below for validating proper setup.
