3Com sees standards for 56K modems

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec 5 (Reuters) - 3Com Corp said
Friday that the International Telecommunications Union has
agreed on a compromise that will likely result in a standard
for 56K modems in January.
3Com said in a statement the agreement was reached at a
meeting of the ITU this week in Orlando. It should clear the
way for standards for the new high speed modems.
An official determination will be made at a meeting from
January 26 to February 6 in Geneva, Switzerland. Once a
standard is determined, the ratification will be set in
September 1998.
3Com and Rockwell International Corp developed
competing and non-compataible technologies for 56K modems. The
two camps have so far failed to reach an accord on standards
for the modems, which transmit data at about the twice the
speed of older modems. Because of the lack of standards, many
consumers have put off upgrading to the newer models.
