Persona-Based Bandwidth Calculator
At Fuze, we want to ensure we are helping to set our customers up for success. For that reason, we created the Fuze bandwidth tool to help you determine how much bandwidth is necessary to have quality service. First, the tool estimates the calling patterns based on a standard set of use cases or persona types. Next, the tool uses that information to calculate the estimated voice and video bandwidth usage. Simply enter the number of users for each persona type who will use voice and video to calculate the bandwidth estimate for each site.
Persona
Fuze categorizes its users into these persona types. To
learn more about our personas, please review the guides here.

Voice Users
Please enter the number of users for each
persona type
and for the office location you
want to calculate usage bandwidth.

% of users making voice calls
at the same time This is the user concurrency, meaning the total
number of
users that are making a call at the same time. 50% means that only have of these
users would ever be on a call at the same time.

Voice Bandwidth Estimate (Mb)
Voice bandwidth is calculated using G.711 media
protocol
and the associated packet overheads

Total Recommended bandwidth (Mb) for Site
The bandwidth is estimated based on typical usage
scenarios. If the percentage of users increases, then more bandwidth will be
required. As part of a Fuze deployment, the network team can work with you
determine the appropriate bandwidth number.
