What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to translate data transfer speeds from modem (110), a legacy low bit rate used for early dial-up and teletype links, into STS192 (signal), a modern high-speed synchronous transport signal in the SONET family. It helps compare and document legacy data rates in terms of current high-capacity network signals.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in modem (110) units you wish to convert
-
Select the target unit as STS192 (signal)
-
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent STS192 signal rate
-
Review the result to understand the modern equivalent of the legacy data speed
Key Features

Examples
-
100 modem (110) equals 1.1051633230453e-6 STS192 (signal)
-
1,000 modem (110) equals 1.1051633230453e-5 STS192 (signal)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing legacy teleprinter or teletype communication speeds to modern network rates
-
Documenting historical telemetry or serial data links in terms of current telecommunications frameworks
-
Testing legacy protocol compatibility in vintage computing environments
-
Mapping old serial link speeds to high-capacity carrier backbone transport signals
-
Integrating obsolete low-speed data channels into contemporary SONET-based networks
Tips & Best Practices
-
Understand the vast difference in scale between legacy modem bit rates and STS192 signals
-
Use the converter for documentation and comparison rather than routine performance assessment
-
Apply conversions mostly in environments dealing with vintage systems or network integration testing
-
Double-check unit selections to avoid confusion between electrical framing rates and bit rates
-
Consider the context of the data when interpreting extremely small converted values
Limitations
-
Conversion results are often extremely small due to the large difference in data rate scales
-
Modem (110) speeds are mostly obsolete and not applicable for modern communication systems
-
STS192 signals represent electrical framing rates at gigabit speeds, limiting direct practical comparisons
-
The tool is intended primarily for specialized legacy-to-modern data rate translation and testing
-
Not suitable for everyday network speed conversions or current telecommunication planning
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does modem (110) represent in data transfer?
-
Modem (110) denotes a legacy modem transmission speed of approximately 110 bits per second used in early dial-up and teletype communication.
-
What is STS192 (signal) used for?
-
STS192 is an electrical framing rate in the SONET family used for high-capacity carrier network transport at about 9.95328 Gbit/s.
-
Why is the conversion factor between modem (110) and STS192 so small?
-
Because modem (110) speeds are very low compared to the high gigabit-per-second rates of STS192 signals, resulting in extremely small equivalent values.
Key Terminology
