07-04-00: New voiceband modem standards; ITU agrees on enhancements

The ITU agreed on three important new standards for voiceband modems in Edinburgh,
Scotland, last week, at a meeting of the ITU-T Working Party 1/16 responsible for modem
specifications. Building on the success of the now ubiquitous V.90 Recommendation for modems
at data rates up to 56kbit/s, important enhancements have now been agreed in new
Recommendation ITU-T V.92. The enhancements are:

An increase of more than 40% in the maximum data rate towards the network to a new
maximum of 48 kbit/s on the best connections;
Significantly quicker start-up times on recognized connections, and;
The ability to put the modem ‘on-hold’ when the network indicates that an incoming call is
waiting.

These enhancements will give significant benefits to the modem user with improved access to
interactive services, and the option of exploiting voice response facilities associated with Internet
browsing.

The Chairman of ITU-T Study Group 16, Pierre-André Probst noted "These important new
features will further improve the Internet users experience by significantly reducing connect times
and providing improved access to new Internet services."

“Much attention is going to DSL technologies these days, but the voiceband modem will remain
the pre-dominant worldwide access technology for many years to come and these important
new Recommendations will help users to get the most from this technology” said John Magill, the
Chairman of the ITU-T Working Party 1/16.
