What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform data transfer measurements from STS192 (signal), a high-capacity synchronous transport signal in telecom networks, into the much slower modem (110) bit rate used in legacy dial-up communications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in STS192 (signal) units you want to convert
-
Select modem (110) as the target unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent data rate in modem (110)

Examples
-
1 STS192 (signal) equals approximately 90,484,363.64 modem (110)
-
0.5 STS192 (signal) equals about 45,242,181.82 modem (110)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing high-speed carrier backbone data rates to legacy modem speeds
-
Emulating vintage modem or serial link performance for software testing
-
Documenting historical telemetry or serial communication rates
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this converter primarily for legacy or testing scenarios
-
Ensure inputs are accurate for meaningful conversions
-
Understand that modem (110) reflects obsolete speeds relevant only in certain contexts
Limitations
-
Direct practical conversions are rare due to the vast speed differences
-
Modem (110) rates are outdated and not suitable for modern data comparisons
-
Intended mostly for vintage systems and compatibility testing
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does STS192 (signal) represent?
-
STS192 (signal) is a synchronous transport signal in SONET with a framing rate of 192 times STS-1, representing about 9.95328 Gbit/s electrical data transfer.
-
Why convert from STS192 to modem (110)?
-
This conversion helps compare very high-speed telecom rates to legacy modem speeds, useful for vintage network emulation and protocol testing.
-
Is modem (110) used in modern communications?
-
No, modem (110) is a legacy rate from early dial-up and teletype communication, now mostly relevant for historical or emulation purposes.
Key Terminology
-
STS192 (signal)
-
A synchronous transport signal level denoting an electrical framing rate of 192 × STS-1 (approximately 9.95328 Gbit/s) used in high-speed telecom carrier transport.
-
modem (110)
-
A legacy modem transmission speed around 110 bits per second, historically used for early dial-up and teletype communications.
-
SONET
-
Synchronous Optical Network, a standardized digital communication protocol used to transmit multiple digital bit streams over optical fiber.
