The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) decides the
technical protocols communications devices must use to interoperate
with each other. Modems that comply with ITU standards can “talk to”
other standards-compliant modems and fax machines worldwide.
The ITU has decided on a worldwide 56K standard technology. So, now
with a U.S. Robotics modem you can get all the Internet you want from
any service provider who offers the V.90 ITU standard 56K technology
or x2™ technology.
This modem will give you the most compatibility with high speed
downloads from service providers that offer the ITU 56K standard
technology or x2 technology to their customers. 3Com U.S. Robotics is
working with providers everywhere to quickly upgrade their service to
the V.90 ITU 56K standard.
Capable of receiving up to 56 Kbps and sending up to 31.2 Kbps.
The download speeds you experience may be lower due to varying
line conditions and other factors.
Actual speeds may vary.
Requires compatible phone line and server equipment.
Complies with both the proposed V.90 ITU 56K standard and x2
protocols.
