Radically Easy to Install. The MultiModemUSB uses the Universal Serial Bus (USB) for the easiest modem installation available. Just plug it into a laptop or desktop USB port. Windows 98/Me/2000/XP does all the work automatically to detect and configure the modem. Plus, with USB, users never have to restart or change system settings when hot-swapping this modem with other USB devices.
Increased Upload Speeds. With the V.92 MultiModemUSB, you can achieve an upload speed of 48K bps (30% increase over V.90 modems). This higher upstream speed reduces data transfer time for large e-mails with attachments and for ftp site uploads, as well as improves operation for interactive applications.
Quick Connect. The V.92 MultiModemUSB quick connect feature reduces the dial-up connection time by as much as 50% for a modem to “handshake” to an ISP or other connection.
V.44 Compression. V.44 is a new data compression standard that will improve the current V.42bis data compression anywhere from 20 to 60 percent, up to as much as 200 percent for certain types of highly compressible data. The compression technique, used by the V.92 MultiModemUSB, enables data throughput rates of higher than 300K bps - much faster than today’s typical rates of 150 - 200K bps. For users, it means that your Web browsing will be much faster.
Enhanced Fax Features. The V.92 MultiModemUSB supports V.34 fax and Error Correction Mode providing significant performance and reliability enhancements over previous fax standards. V.34 sends and receives faxes at 33.6K, more than double the speed of the V.17/14.4K fax standard. Error Correction Mode adds reliablility while increasing performance of fax transmissions. Together these enhancements increase the performance of the MultiModemUSB to levels previously only found in more expensive dedicated fax boards and machines.
