Why is the conversion from modem (110) to STM-1 so small?

Because modem (110) is a low-speed legacy rate around 110 bps, while STM-1 operates at 155.52 Mbit/s, making the equivalent fraction very tiny.

Can I use this tool for real-time network transmission comparisons?

This tool is best suited for theoretical documentation and comparison rather than real-time data transmission evaluations.

Does the STM-1 value include protocol overhead?

No, the conversion only considers bit rates and does not account for framing or protocol overhead inherent in STM-1 signals.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this conversion primarily for documentation or theoretical comparison, not practical data transmission evaluation
Consider the approximate nature of modem (110) speeds when interpreting results
Remember STM-1 includes framing and protocol overhead not reflected in simple bit rate conversions
Leverage example conversions to understand the scale difference before applying to your context

Limitations

Conversion is mainly theoretical due to the very large difference in data rates
Modem (110) rate is approximate and can vary in real applications
STM-1 is a framed synchronous signal, so bit rate conversion omits overhead and framing details
