NewCom Debuts K56flex Modem Line With V.90 Compatibility LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 9, 1998--NewCom Inc. [Nasdaq:NWCM - news], a leader in the computer peripherals industry, has announced the launch of its new 56K modem line that supports both V.90, the newly agreed upon International Telecommunications Union's (ITU) draft standard and K56flex protocols. NewCom's 56K modem line includes internal and external versions that feature full duplex speakerphone capability, giving users the ability to hold hands-free telephone conversations through their PC. The new V.90 standard, agreed upon by the ITU in February, resolves the battle between the two 56K competing standards, Rockwell's K56flex and 3COM/USR's X2. NewCom's V.90 56K modems allow users to receive data communications at a rate of up to 56Kbps and send or receive faxes at up to 14.4Kbps. In addition to full duplex speakerphone capability, both internal and external versions include automatic feature negotiation and support H.324 video conferencing. NewCom's V.90 56K modems come complete with required telephone cord, installation software, additional CD-ROM titles (Trio Communications Suite, Microsoft Internet Explorer, VDOphone, and Virusafe 95), and a simple quick start guide. NewCom's V.90 56K data/fax modems carry suggested retail prices of $89.99 for the internal data/fax modem and $109.99 for the external data/fax modem. NewCom's V.90 56K modems are available at electronic retailers, computer outlets, and through selected catalogues. For information on local retail outlets, call 800/5NEWCOM. ''Now NewCom is able to provide a standard product that is compatible with all internet service providers and modems. Our V.90 modems are a perfect example of NewCom's continued commitment to compatibility and quality in our products,'' said Sonia Kiarashi, NewCom's vice president of sales and marketing. NewCom is a provider of peripheral equipment in the computer communications and multimedia field, designing high-speed modems, ultra-fast CD-ROM drives, upgrade kits, Internet set-top boxes, plug-and-play sound cards, and other products which enhance the performance of desktop and portable computers.
