An Internet connection
A web browser that supports AJAX, JavaScript™ and HTTP requests such as:
o Internet Explorer® 7 or higher
o Firefox® 2 or higher
o Opera™ 9 or higher
o Netscape® 8 or higher
o Safari® 3 or higher
Minimum Mobile System Requirements:
•
Wi-Fi or cellular connection (for optimum performance, a Wi-Fi connection is
recommended). Local area Wi-Fi or cellular network capable of supporting a
concentration of one simultaneous connection for each ResponseWare device
located in the same coverage area on the network. e.g., If a presenter wants to
use 100 ResponseWare devices, the network needs to be able to support 100
simultaneous Wi-Fi connections within the area the devices are being used. The
difference in a network that can support ResponseWare and a typical Wi-Fi
network is that in typical use, all 100 devices are not in the same location or
using the network at the exact same time.
