The Compaq Lucent V.90 56-K PCI Win Modem 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, V.90 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.
Performance
The V.90 technology of the Lucent V.90 56-K PCI Win Modem 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. Additionally, the backward compatibility of the V.90 modem allows users who do not upgrade to V.92 to
connect at rates of up to 56 Kbps with K56flex™-based ISPs that have upgraded to the ITU standard.
Viewing the Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN) as mostly digital, the Lucent V.90 56-K PCI Win Modem 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.

Data transmission
V.90/K56flex technology speeds: 56,000 Kbps maximum downstream data, controllerless
Note: 56 Kbps technology refers to download speeds only and requires compatible modems at server sites. Other
conditions may limit modem speed. FCC limitations allow a maximum of 53 Kbps during download
transmissions.
