What Is This Tool?
This unit converter allows you to convert data transfer rates from ISDN (dual channel), a telecommunications configuration using two bonded 64 kbit/s channels, to modem (14.4k), a legacy dial-up modem standard operating at 14.4 kilobits per second. It facilitates understanding and comparison of different data transfer technologies.

ISDN (dual channel) uses digital circuit bonding while modem (14.4k) relies on analog modulation
-
Conversion rates are approximate and do not guarantee actual network performance equivalence
-
Different protocols and overhead impact real-world throughput beyond simple conversions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ISDN (dual channel) mean in data transfer?
-
ISDN (dual channel) refers to using two 64 kbit/s ISDN bearer channels bonded together to provide a combined data rate of about 128 kbit/s.
-
How fast is a modem (14.4k)?
-
A modem (14.4k) is a dial-up modem that transfers data up to 14.4 kilobits per second over analog telephone lines.
-
Can I directly replace a modem (14.4k) with ISDN (dual channel)?
-
No, while you can compare their data rates, ISDN (dual channel) and modem (14.4k) use different transmission methods, so direct substitution is not possible.
