What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to transform data transfer units from STS3 (payload), which measures user-data capacity in a SONET OC-3 frame, into the modem (28.8k) rate, representing the throughput of a classic 28.8 kbps dial-up modem. It helps compare modern carrier network capacities to legacy modem speeds.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in STS3 (payload) units you want to convert
  • Select the target unit as modem (28.8k)
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent modem (28.8k) rate
  • Review the result to understand throughput equivalences between units

Key Features

  • Converts high-capacity SONET STS3 payload rates to 28.8 kbps modem speeds
  • Provides quick comparisons between carrier-grade optical transport and dial-up modem rates
  • Browser-based, easy-to-use interface for fast unit conversions
  • Supports telecom provisioning, capacity planning, and legacy throughput benchmarking

Examples

  • 2 STS3 (payload) equals 2 × 5220 = 10,440 modem (28.8k)
  • 0.5 STS3 (payload) equals 0.5 × 5220 = 2,610 modem (28.8k)

Common Use Cases

  • Comparing backbone link capacities with legacy modem speeds for network documentation
  • Planning and provisioning telecom circuits based on payload channel capacity
  • Evaluating bandwidth and throughput limits between optical transport and dial-up connections
  • Educational purposes to illustrate differences between modern and legacy data rates

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this converter primarily for high-level capacity comparisons rather than precise throughput estimates
  • Keep in mind the impact of overhead and line quality on actual modem performance
  • Apply the conversion results for planning and educational contexts rather than direct throughput benchmarking
  • Understand that STS3 payload reflects large-scale transport capacity whereas modem speeds reflect legacy user links

Limitations

  • Assumes ideal conditions without accounting for overhead or encoding differences in modem communication
  • Large STS3 payload rates produce very high modem equivalents that are less practical for typical user scenarios
  • Does not consider line quality effects or real-world modem connection variability

Frequently Asked Questions

What does STS3 (payload) represent?
STS3 (payload) refers to the user-data portion of a SONET STS-3 transport frame, representing the bytes available for client traffic after excluding framing and overhead.

Why convert STS3 (payload) to modem (28.8k)?
This conversion helps compare modern high-capacity optical transport data rates with classic dial-up modem speeds for planning, documentation, or educational insights.

Is the conversion rate affected by modem line quality?
No, the conversion assumes ideal conditions and does not account for line quality, overhead, or encoding variations.

Key Terminology

STS3 (payload)
The user-data portion of a SONET STS-3 frame representing bytes available for client traffic after overhead is excluded.
Modem (28.8k)
A data transfer rate approximately equal to 28,800 bits per second, typical of a classic dial-up modem.
SONET
Synchronous Optical Network, a standard for optical telecommunications transport.
