Other additional defined data transfer rates are 12.0 kbit/s, 9.6 kbit/s, 7.2 kbit/s, and 4.8 kbit/s.[3]The standard was extended by several modem manufacturers to allow bidirectional data transfer rates of 19.2 kbit/s, but never ratified as a V.32terstandard. These non-ITU-T standard modems were often referred to as "V.32terbo"modems.[4]

Additionally, V.34 modems employ shell mapping asshaping codeto reduce the transmit power.[5]
- V.34 (10/96)is an updated ITU-T recommendation for a modem, building on the V.34 standard but allowing up to 33.6 kbit/s bidirectional data transfer. Other additional defined data transfer rates are 31.2 kbit/s, as well as all the permitted V.34 rates. Modems implementing this standard were often marketed under the monikerV.34+.[6]
- V.34 (02/98)commonly rendered as V.34bis, is a further update to V.34 which corrected some errata in the original 1996 document.[7]
Ad hoc standards
editIn order to gainfirst-mover advantage,many modem companies introduced models based on upcoming V-series standards before they reached final ratification. In other cases, companies introduced non-standard systems but gave them ITU-like names.
- V.32terbo,orV.32terfor short, was a 19.2 kbit/s standard introduced byAT&T Paradyne.It was based on V.32bis and did little other than increase the data rate. V.32ter is compatible with V.32bis at speeds of 14.4 kbit/s and lower, but it is not compatible with V.34 at 19.2.
- V.FC,short forV.Fast Classand sometimes referred to asV.FAST,was developed byHayesandRockwellto introduce a 28.8 kbit/s standard while the V.34 efforts dragged on. V.FC was not compatible with V.34, although most V.34 modems could support V.FC, notably, those using Rockwell chipsets.[8]
Wideband modems
editApplies to V.35–V.39
- V.35is an ITU-T standard located on layer 1 on theOSI model.Max speed is 2 Mbit/s and synchronous only. Withdrawn ITU-T recommendation for 48 kbit/s data transmission over wideband circuits. The physical and electrical characteristics of this interface are now specified in ITU-T recommendation V.11.
- V.36is an ITU-T standard located on layer 2 on theOSI modelcalled Modems For Synchronous Data Transmission Using 60–108 kHz Group Band Circuits.
Error control and data compression
editApplies to V.40–V.49
- V.41is a code-independent error control system. It defines theITU-TstandardCRC-16polynomial as x16+ x12+ x5+ 1
- V.42is an error correction protocol. Its function is to allow the receiver to immediately request re-transmission of any lost data packets. However, it does not guarantee how quickly the error-free data will be delivered to the receiving end. V.42 is generally included in dialup modems. It also defines the ITU-T standard CRC-32 polynomial as x32+x26+x23+x22+x16+x12+x11+x10+x8+x7+x5+x4+x2+x+1, and includes theLAPMframing protocol.
- V.42bis,also an adaptive data compression standard, is based on theLempel Zivdynamic dictionary approach, and may go to "transparent mode," in which data is transmitted uncompressed. The specific algorithm is "BTLZ"(British Telecom Lempel Ziv), which was developed by Alan Clark (then with BT).
- V.44is based onLZJH(Lempel-Ziv-Jeff-Heath) adaptive data compression developed by Hughes Electronics for its DirecPC satellite Internet, and incorporated into the v.92 dial-up modem standard. V.44 offers somewhat better compression performance for certain types of data than the V.42bis standard, on average allowing 15% greater throughput. For instance, a 53.3 kbit/s connection with V.44 can transmit up to 53.3×6 = 320 kbit/s using pure text. In reality, the overall data rate rarely exceeds 3:1 compression (~150 kbit/s). The compression tends to get better and worse over time due to noise on the line, or due to the transfer of already-compressed files (ZIP files, JPEG images, MP3 audio, MPEG video). At some points the modem will be sending compressed files at 53 kbit/s, uncompressed files at 160 kbit/s, and pure text at 320 kbit/s, or any value in between.[9][10]
Simultaneous transmission of data and other signals
editApplies to V.60–V.99
- V.61Analog Simultaneous Voice and Data (ASVD)
- V.70Digital Simultaneous Voice and Data (DSVD)
- V.80:videoconferencing.It is generally compatibilized withH.324standard point-to-point video telephony over regular phone lines.
- V.90is an ITU-T recommendation for amodem,allowing56 kbit/sdigital download and 33.6 kbit/s analog upload. It replaced two vendor standards (K56flexandX2) and was designed to allow modems from both prior standards to be flash upgraded to support it. It is also known asV.Lastas it was anticipated to be the last standard for modems operating near the channel capacity ofPOTSlines to be developed. V.90 is generally used in concert with the V.42bis compression standard.
- V.91:A digital modem operating at data signalling rates of up to 64 000 bit/s for use on a 4-wire circuit switched connection and on leased point-to-point 4-wire digital circuits,published in 1999
- V.92is anITU-Trecommendation, titledEnhancements to Recommendation V.90,that establishes amodemstandard allowing56 kbit/sdownload, 48 kbit/s upload rates, and the new V.44 compression method. It is intended to succeed the V.90 standards. With V.92,PCMis used for both the upstream and downstream connections; previously 56K modems only used PCM for downstream data.
