Industry: Email Alert RSS FeedUS Robotics claims modem breakthrough.(Brief Article)
Broadcasting & Cable, October, 1996 by Tedesco, Richard
US Robotics says it broke the modem speed barrier last week with a new technology that virtually doubles standard telephone modem speeds. Its x2 technology advances the standard data downstream rate from 28.8 or 33.6 kbps up to 56 kbps. The asymmetrical technology uses a special network configuration different from the modulation techniques used for high-speed modems.
U.S. Robotics plans to conduct field trials of the technology in November and start shipping x2 to online service providers and end users in first quarter 1997.
