Disclaimer
 

The above requirements do not apply if your PC requires access to VPN/Proxy/Remote Desktop before it can access any resources on the Internet.

The Internet Speed requirements are based on the standard setup of a network device (router/switch). Additional traffic on your network impacts internet speed/quality; we recommend avoiding accessing Colleague 7 whilst using network-traffic-heavy processes such as online video games, video/audio streaming, peer-to-peer file sharing, etc.

The above minimum requirements are subject to review based on the enhancements of Colleague 7 and the general developments of other hardware/software/external influencers.
