* **CPU**: 6+ cores, 3.0GHz or higher
* **Storage**: 1GB available for the resource and voice data
* **Network**: 25Mbps+ upload/download
* **Dedicated Host**: VPS or dedicated server (not shared hosting)

## Client Requirements

### Minimum Requirements

* **FiveM Client**: Latest version
* **Memory**: 8GB RAM
* **CPU**: Intel Core i5 or AMD equivalent
* **Storage**: 100MB available for resource cache
* **Network**: Stable internet connection with minimum 5Mbps
* **Microphone**: Working microphone for voice communication
* **Audio Output**: Speakers or headphones

### Recommended Requirements

* **Memory**: 16GB RAM
* **CPU**: Intel Core i7/i9 or AMD Ryzen 5/7/9
* **Network**: 15Mbps+ connection with low latency
* **Audio**: Quality headset with noise-canceling microphone

## Operating System Compatibility

### Server OS

* **Windows**: Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2019/2022
* **Linux**: Ubuntu 18.04/20.04/22.04 LTS, Debian 10/11
* **Note**: Linux servers may require additional configuration for voice server

### Client OS

* **Windows**: Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
* **Performance may vary on other operating systems running FiveM**

## Framework Requirements

RadioLink-P25 supports multiple frameworks but does not strictly require any. Compatible frameworks include:

* **QBCore**: All recent versions
* **ESX**: Legacy and Infinity versions
* **vRP**: Version 1.0 and newer
* **QBox**: All versions
* **Standalone**: No framework required

## Voice System Requirements

The RadioLink-P25 voice system has specific requirements:

### Voice Server

* **Dedicated Port**: Default 30121 (TCP and UDP)
* **Firewall Access**: Ability to open/forward ports
* **Server Resources**: Voice processing uses additional CPU

### Voice Client

* **Voice Chat Enabled**: FiveM voice chat must be functional
* **Proper Audio Setup**: Working microphone and audio output
* **DirectX**: Updated DirectX runtime

## Network Requirements

### Ports

The following ports must be open and forwarded:

* **FiveM Server Port**: Your main server port (default: 30120)
* **Voice Server Port**: Your main server port + 1 (default: 30121)
* **Both TCP and UDP** protocols must be open for these ports

### Bandwidth

Bandwidth requirements depend on player count:

| Player Count  | Minimum Upload | Recommended Upload |
| ------------- | -------------- | ------------------ |
| 1-16 players  | 10 Mbps        | 25 Mbps            |
| 17-32 players | 20 Mbps        | 50 Mbps            |
| 33-64 players | 35 Mbps        | 100 Mbps           |
| 65+ players   | 50+ Mbps       | 150+ Mbps          |

### Latency

* **Voice Communication**: <100ms ping recommended for optimal voice quality
* **Radio Functions**: <150ms ping for reliable radio operation

## Additional Requirements

### Database

* **MySQL/MariaDB**: 5.7+ (for saving radio settings)
* **No SQLite Support**: Data persistence requires MySQL

### Discord Integration (Optional)

If using the optional Discord integration:

* **Discord Bot**: Token with appropriate permissions
* **Discord Server**: With configured channels and roles

### Tower Site Simulation

For realistic tower site propagation:

* **Higher CPU Usage**: More demanding on the server CPU
* **Increased Network Traffic**: More data shared between clients

## Scalability Considerations

When planning for larger servers, consider these scaling factors:

### Small Servers (1-16 players)

* Standard configuration is sufficient
* Integrated voice server works well

### Medium Servers (17-32 players)

* Consider using standalone voice server
* Optimize tower site count and update intervals

### Large Servers (33-64 players)

* Recommended to use standalone voice server on separate port
* Carefully plan tower site placement for performance
* Consider reducing propagation simulation complexity

### Very Large Servers (65+ players)

* Requires standalone voice server configuration
* May need multiple voice servers for different regions
* Optimize all performance settings

## Compatibility Notes

### Known Compatible Resources

RadioLink-P25 is known to work well with:

* Most popular CAD/MDT systems
* Standard mapping resources
* Job and inventory systems

### Potential Conflicts

May have conflicts with:

* Other radio resources (TokoVOIP, PMA-Voice, etc.)
* Custom voice systems
* Some vehicle radio replacements

## Testing Your Environment

Before purchasing or fully deploying:

1. **Test Voice**: Ensure basic FiveM voice chat works reliably
2. **Check Ports**: Verify that you can open and use additional ports
3. **Framework Test**: Confirm your framework version is compatible
4. **Benchmark**: Assess your server's available CPU and memory headroom

## Optimization Tips

For optimal performance:

1. **Dedicated Machine**: Run on a dedicated server rather than shared hosting
2. **Voice Isolation**: Consider isolating the voice server if you have many players
3. **SSD Storage**: Use SSD storage for faster loading and data processing
4. **Regular Updates**: Keep your server and resources updated
5. **Clean Environment**: Minimize conflicting or unnecessary resources
