Texas Instruments Supports ITU V.92 Recommendation with Faster Upstream Rates and Advanced Modem Features

Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

Texas Instruments (TI) has announced its support for the V.92 analog modem standard, which promises faster upstream rates of up to 48 kbps, modem call waiting, and fast reconnect. The company has successfully demonstrated the interoperability of the V.92 standard with Intel Corporation and other major PC modem vendors. TI's GoldenPort RAS Universal Port Solution will offer all V.92 features, including modem call waiting, fast reconnect, and improved upstream rates, in the first half of next year.

Key Takeaways:

  • TI has successfully demonstrated the faster upstream capability of the V.92 analog modem standard, which supports rates of up to 48 kbps, up to 43% faster than today's V.90 (56Kbps) modems.
  • The V.92 recommendation defines three key features: modem on hold, fast reconnect, and pulse code modulation (PCM) upstream speeds of up to 48Kbps.
  • TI contributed to the development of the V.92 recommendation through its active participation on the ITU committee responsible for the recommendation.
  • TI's GoldenPort RAS Universal Port Solution is a complete modem, voice, and fax solution that can accommodate any call type on any available port and combines maximum channel density and lowest power per channel.
  • The GoldenPort solution currently supports dial-up modem connections such as V.90, V.34bis, and various fallback rates, and also supports modem relay, fax relay, fax termination, voice over packet, signaling, and network management.
  • TI's DSP-based solution maintains headroom within the DSP for including emerging features and new standards such as V.92.

Statistics:

  • Up to 48 kbps upstream speed supported by the V.92 recommendation (up to 43% faster than today's V.90 (56Kbps) modems).
  • TI's GoldenPort RAS Universal Port Solution maintains a 4x reduction in area per channel and a 2x reduction in power per channel over its nearest competitor.
  • The GoldenPort solution currently supports dial-up modem connections such as V.90, V.34bis, and various fallback rates.
