V.92 Modem Standard
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) has announced an improved
ITU-T 56K modem standard: V.92. Though the top speed for downloads is still
56K, V.92 has a number of enhancements:
Startup time - the time needed to establish a connection - has been reduced,
making hopping on and off the Internet much easier. This should make it
easier to hop on and off the Internet. Reports from months ago claimed that
startup time had been reduced from around twenty seconds to about five
seconds, though more recent reports put the figure at ten seconds. (One
difference in the figures may be whether or not dialing time is included, or
if the figures only cover the time when the two modems are screeching at
each other during the connection phase.)
V.92 has a standard method of disconnecting the modem long enough to let you
know that someone is trying to call you without losing the connection, a
feature being referred to as "Internet call waiting."
The maximum upload speed has been increased from 33.6K to 48K, which should
improve video conferencing and general uploading.
The ITU-T also proposed two new related modem standards:
The ITU-T has upgraded the V.42bis compression to V.44, which it says
compresses data 25% more effectively.
V.59 is a new protocol for facilitating modem and connection fault-finding.
Final approval of the new standards could come as early as the group's
November, 2000 meeting.
