System Requirements
This page lists the practical minimum requirements for running a QAROS Hub.
Hub machine
The Hub runs on a Windows desktop or server machine with:
- NVIDIA GPU: at least RTX 2060
- CPU: at least 8 CPU cores
- RAM: at least 8 GB
- Storage: at least 10 GB of free disk space
These are the baseline requirements for the Hub itself. Your source applications may require a stronger machine than QAROS alone, so size the system for both QAROS and the applications you plan to run on the Hub.
Network
The network is a critical part of the deployment.
- Use a Wi-Fi 6 router or better.
- Connect the Hub to the router by LAN cable.
- Keep only a single wireless hop between the Hub and the target device.
- QAROS supports standard Wi-Fi deployments and also supports LiFi.
- For Android and HoloLens deployments, 5G via dongle is also supported.
Example router choices:
- ASUS RT-AX55 or better
- GL.iNet XE3000 or better for mobile workspaces and on-the-go setups
QAROS services expect the Hub and devices to share a LAN-like network. For ports and firewall details, see Networking & Federation.
Devices
Supported target devices include:
- HoloLens 2
- P&C Solutions METALENSE 2
- Meta Quest
- Android phones and tablets
- Desktop visualizer
