The ITU standard for 56K modulation.
A digital modem and analogue modem pair for use on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) at data signalling rates of up to 56 000 bit/s downstream and up to 33 600 bit/s upstream.
The ITU standard that allows modems to receive data at up to 56 Kbps over the standard, public switched telephone network. Also see Kbps ITU
The current modem communication protocol that allows for connections up to 53.3kbps.
V90 is a compression standard for 56K internet downloads via modem. Originally there were 2 different standards: 56Kx2 and 56Kflex. Each required separate compatibility from an Internet Service Provider. V90 has been introduced to create uniformity. It also behaves as a compression standard for Internet downloads for improved real-time performance. It is backward compatible to work with older systems.
The international 56K analog modem standard
the CCITT data modulation protocol for 57,600 bps (56K).
An international standard for 56K data communications.
Protocol for dial-up modems that supports nominal 56K transfer speeds. In reality the maximum transfer speed limits are 53K for downloading and 33.6K for uploading.
Modem specification for "56k" modems - actually limited to 53K downloading from the internet and 33.6K uploading into the Internet
A standard for 56-Kpbs modems approved by the International Telecommunication Union(ITU) in February, 1998. The V.90 standard resolves the battle between the two competing 56 Kbps technologies -X2 from 3COM and K56Flex from Rockwell Semiconductor. Both manufacturers have announced that their future modems will conform to V.90. In addition, most users who already purchased 56 Kbps modems will be able to apply a software upgrade to make their modems support V.90.
56 kb/s modem standards set by the ITU in February, 1998. It settles the competition between X2 by 3COM/US Robotics and K56flex by Rockwell Semiconductor since both will now conform to V.90. See also ITU.
a term used to generally classify 56K bps modems
ITU standard protocol for doing 56kps communication.
the finally agreed-upon standard for 56Kbps analog modems. Earlier competing standards, Rockwell's K56Flex and 3COM's X2, are still widespread as consumers and service providers upgrade to the new standard. Most 56K modems sold before the standard approval can be software upgraded to V.90. The V.90 is likely to be the last analog modem standard, with cable modems, DSL and other high-bandwidth connectivity schemes from here on out.
A protocol for 56kbps modems approved by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union).
An older communications standard used by 56K modems.
A modem standard established by the ITU which assures that 56K modems that comply with the standard will be able to communicate with one another regardless of the manufacturer of the modem.
The 56K modem standard set by the International Telecommunications Union in February 1998. The standard consolidates the previously incompatible x2 and K56Flex modem standards, making it possible for all 56K modems to communicate with each other. (See also: Modem)
The older, international standard for 56K modem communications.
A standard, approved by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), for transmitting data downstream to modems at 56 Kbps.
A new, international standard for 56K data communications
V.90 modems can theoretically transmit data downstream (that is, from a remote machine to the one in which the modem is installed) at 56Kbps. For tens of millions of people, using a V.90 modem will be how they connect to the internet for many years to come. Even given the progress, promotion and promise of other high bandwidth technologies like cable modems and DSL, many countries and rural USA will not have the infrastructure put in place to benefit from bi-directional cable or DSL
The latest in the V series of modem standards. V.90 modems can theoretically transmit data downstream (that is, from a remote machine to the one in which the modem is installed) an 56Kbps.
An International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standard for 56-Kbps modems.
Data transmission standard that provides for up to 56,000 bits per second (bps) communications over telephone lines. The transmission speed from the client-side modem is 33,600 bps, the same as V.34. The transmission speed from the host-side modem, such as an Internet service provider (ISP) or corporate network, is up to 56,000 bps, with an average speed of 40,000 to 50,000 bps. When the host-side modem does not support this standard, the alternative is V.34. See also: bits per second (bps); client; host; Internet service provider (ISP); modem (modulator/demodulator); modulation standards; V.34
A 1998 ITU standard for 56K modem technology, downloading data at up to 56 Kb/s and uploading at 33.6 Kb/s. This standard requires the service provider (that is, POTS) to have a direct digital connection to the user line because the 56K digital signals are not converted to analog signals at the service end.
