System requirements
Network requirements
The Android device must be able to connect to the corporate network. Users can connect to the corporate
Wi-Fi directly when in the office. When away from the office, users can use the secure connect feature
to connect to the corporate network from another Wi-Fi or mobile data network.

For optimal user experience when using Cisco Jabber for Android over your corporate Wi-Fi, we
recommend that:
recommend that:
•
Wi-Fi networks should be designed to minimize occurrences of layer 3 roams where IP addresses
change; resulting in long latency or roam times, dropped calls, or dropped voice packets.

•
All access points have the same Service Set Identifier (SSID). Roaming can be slow if the SSIDs do
not match.

•
Access points should broadcast their SSID (otherwise Cisco Jabber may disconnect from the Wi-Fi
network when roaming to the next access point and interrupt calls).

•
Gaps in coverage should be eliminated as much as possible, including in areas such as elevators,
stairways, and outside corridors.
stairways, and outside corridors.
Conduct a thorough site survey to minimize network problems that could affect voice quality. When you
conduct the survey, verify nonoverlapping channel configurations, access point coverage, and required
data and traffic rates; eliminate rogue access points; and identify and mitigate the impact of potential
interference sources.
