- Atlanta, GA 24 Jun 91: Hayes Microcomputer Products, Inc., today
- announced V-series ULTRA Smartmodem 14400, a high speed, high
- capability modem that implements the most advanced international and
- industry standards with CCITT V.32bis for 14.4 Kbps line speed and
- CCITT V.42bis for up to 38.4 Kbps throughput.
-
- ULTRA 144 delivers unique connectivity to SNA, X.25 and ISDN networks
- and supports virtually every modem communication application in
- mainframe, workstation and personal computer environments. Customers
- using ULTRA 144 receive the maximum 50 percent throughput improvement
- over 9600 bps in synchronous environments or when transferring
- compressed data files. ULTRA 144's X.25 PAD supports four
- simultaneous communication sessions to packet switched networks and
- provides transition to ISDN by connecting analog modems to digital
- ISDN systems through packet switched networks.
-
- "CCITT V.32 has been around for seven years, and it's just now
- replacing CCITT V.22bis, 2400 bps, as the business standard for high
- speed modems," said Hayes President Dennis C. Hayes. "CCITT V.32bis is
- leading-edge technology. ULTRA 144 is ideal for customers who always
- want to be the "first" with new technologies and whose applications
- require additional throughput."
-
- ULTRA 144 also features Hayes AutoSync for synchronous communications,
- MI/MIC for support of PABX and security systems, and CCITT V.25bis for
- synchronous autodialing. The modem also provides backward
- compatibility with MNP 2-5, Hayes Adaptive Data Compression, and LAPB
- error-control to provide a migration path to CCITT V.42 and V.42bis.
- By supporting Express 96, ULTRA 144 communicates with V-series
- Smartmodem 9600s, the world's largest installed base of proprietary
- 9600 bps modems.
-
- ULTRA 144 will be available in North America in August 1991 for an
- estimated retail price of US$1199 and CN$1699. For customers whose
- applications require the increased line speed of 14.4 Kbps, Hayes
- offers upgrades from ULTRA 96 to ULTRA 144 for US$275 and CN$330. For
- more information, contact Hayes Customer Service in the U.S. at
- 404/441-1617 and in Canada at 416/283-2627.
