Introduction
The Agere PCI V90 56K Worldwide Controllerless WinModem is the universally compatible and interoperable high-speed connection solution for customers who require high-speed data connections over standard telephone lines. By enabling faster downstream speeds from the ISP to the user, V90 technology significantly speeds information delivery. Download drains such as graphics-intensive web pages, audio and video, and large files will download nearly as fast as ISDN connections and at almost twice the rate of the standard 28.8-K modem.
The DC131B option kit includes the same PCI modem card as the previous DC131A kit , and adds an additional low-profile bracket.
The DC131C#xxx option kit contains the RJ11 modem adapter for installations requiring country/telecom-specific plug-in adapters.
Performance
The V90 technology of the Agere PCI V90 56K Worldwide Controllerless WinModem is compatible with previous communication standards like ITU V.34, which means that whenever high-speed communication is not possible, the connection can be established via V.34. Users can upgrade to the new standard and connect with any ISP that is also standard compliant.
Viewing the Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN) as mostly digital, the Agere PCI V90 56K Worldwide Controllerless WinModem delivers faster speeds by greatly reducing the quantization noise caused by corrupted or reconstructed analog/digital signals. The ultimate result is faster speed and overall enhanced performance.
