Rockwell, 3Com Announce 56-Kbps Modems Can Communicate
by Brian McWilliams, PC World News Radio
February 17, 1998
Rockwell Semiconductor and 3Com surprised the telecom world Tuesday by
announcing that they have completed interoperability testing of their
V.90
modems.
Less than two weeks ago, an International Telecommunications Union
committee
approved a draft standard for 56-kbps modems. But at that time
Rockwell and
3Com, the biggest makers of 56-kbps equipment, said they hadn't been
able to
work out an arrangement to test whether their V.90 products were
interoperable.
Modem analysts and even some representatives of the companies
themselves said
the lack of testing between the two big players would make the draft
standard
useless, and could lead to consumer confusion and disappointment.
But the two big modem makers agreed to test their V.90 products for
interoperability, and they completed that testing much sooner than
anyone had
predicted.
As Rockwell's president Dwight Decker puts it: "The testing I would
characterize
as intense 7-day-a-week kind of testing. Both of our companies were
very far
along in [finalizing] our V.90 products, so ... that permitted
[interoperability
testing] to be completed very quickly."
Also on Tuesday 3Com said it has begun shipping V.90 modems, and is
the first
vendor to do so. The company said information about software upgrades
for its
existing U.S. Robotics x2 modems will be available at its site by the
end of
this month.
Rockwell said it expects to ship V.90 products by the end of this
quarter.
