This article provides estimated upload times at varying network speeds to help your IT team validate that your facility's internet connection can support Vector 8 data uploads.
Overview
Upload time for Vector 8 Wearable Device data depends on the upload bandwidth available on your active internet connection. Estimates below are based on 30 S8 devices uploading two hours of recorded data each, approximately 12.5 MB per file and 375 MB total.
Single dock upload estimates
| Upload bandwidth | Est. single file upload time | Est. total upload time |
|---|---|---|
| 5 Mbps | 20.0 seconds | 600 seconds (10 min) |
| 10 Mbps | 10.0 seconds | 300 seconds (5 min) |
| 20 Mbps | 5.0 seconds | 150 seconds (2.5 min) |
| 30 Mbps | 2.0 seconds | 60 seconds (1 min) |
| 100 Mbps | 1.0 second | 30 seconds |
| 200 Mbps | 0.5 seconds | 15 seconds |
Actual upload performance may vary due to factors such as network congestion, latency, signal strength, background processes, and other environmental or infrastructure-related conditions. These estimates should be treated as indicative rather than guaranteed performance metrics.
Recommended minimum
For most single-dock deployments, a minimum of 20 Mbps upload bandwidth is recommended to achieve a practical upload time of around 2.5 minutes. For multi-dock deployments, see: Multi-Dock Bandwidth Planning
