What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms data transfer values from STM-64 (signal) rates to modem (110) speeds. STM-64 represents a high-speed digital signal used in telecommunications, while modem (110) reflects a low-speed legacy modem rate. The tool assists in comparing modern network capacities to historical communication speeds.
