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.
