What Is This Tool?
This unit converter allows you to transform data transfer rates from modem (300), representing early low-speed modem connections, into STM-1 (signal) units, which denote a high-capacity synchronous transport module used in telecommunications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the amount in modem (300) units you want to convert
-
Select modem (300) as the source unit and STM-1 (signal) as the target unit

Small STM-1 values derived from modem (300) have limited practical use
-
Modem (300) is an outdated technology rarely used today
-
STM-1 signals differ structurally from raw bit rate units like modem (300)
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does modem (300) mean in data transfer terms?
-
Modem (300) refers to a data transfer rate of 300 bits per second from early dial-up modem standards, representing very low-speed connections.
-
What is STM-1 (signal) used for?
-
STM-1 is the basic transmission unit in the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy, typically used for 155.52 Mbit/s backbone fiber links in telecom networks.
-
Why convert from modem (300) to STM-1 (signal)?
-
Converting helps compare and understand the difference between historical low-speed modem rates and modern high-capacity telecom signals.
Key Terminology
