Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does modem (110) represent in data transfer?
-
Modem (110) indicates a transmission speed of about 110 bits per second used in early dial-up and teletype communication systems.
-
What is OC1 in optical networking?
-
OC1 is the base level SONET optical transmission rate at 51.84 megabits per second, used as a fundamental building block for higher-capacity optical circuits.
-
Why convert modem (110) speeds to OC1?
-
Converting helps compare very low legacy modem rates with high-speed modern optical networks for compatibility and network design purposes.
