• Wired LAN (not wifi)
• Minimum 5MBps bandwidth
• Gigabit capable router

Note: when choosing an Internet service provider, we recommend that you find a provider who services business customers. You should get a business service with a minimum of 5Mbps bandwidth (more as your office grows). We do not recommend using residential Internet services as their quality is generally inferior to those offered to businesses.

• You can use any gigabit capable switch. Remember that you need one (or more) to provide for sufficient ports to connect all your workstations.

The suggested requirements listed below for PPro8 workstations are just a minimum. A more powerful machine will allow the user to open more tools and monitor more securities at the same time.

• Recent Intel Core or AMD Ryzen series processor
• 8+ GB DDR4 RAM
