Zoom 56K V.92/V.44 Controllerless PCI Modem

The Zoom/Modem V.92 PCI Model 3025 is a high-performance fax modem that plugs into a PCI slot of a Windows-based computer. The Model 3025's performance is enhanced by an on-board DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and ITU V.92 / V.44 standard compatibility. The Zoom/Modem V.92 PCI outperforms V.90 modems. ITU V.92 is a new standard for dialup modems. It, and its companion compression standard V.44, makes communications faster, easier and more enjoyable. The "automatic negotiation" or "handshake" at the beginning of a call can be over twice as fast with Zoom/Modem V.92 models than with V.90 modems. The new V.44 compression technology results in significantly faster Web browsing and download speeds. Upload speeds (before compression) with Zoom/Modem V.92 models can be up to 40% faster, too. As an added convenience, the Zoom/Modem V.92 PCI allows an incoming phone call to be received without losing an Internet connection. These dramatic improvements in performance are available to Zoom/Modem V.92 users whose ISP (Internet Service Provider) has upgraded to the new standard. The Zoom/Modem V.92 PCI Model 3025 is capable of receiving data from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or online service over standard phone lines at speeds up to 56 Kbps uncompressed. Outgoing data is transmitted at speeds up to 48 Kbps. The Zoom/Modem Model 3025 includes V.80 capability for compatibility with H.324 standard point-to-point video telephony over regular phone lines. It also supports Group 3, Class 1 Fax. The Model 3025 also features ZoomGuard. ZoomGuard provides superior protection against lightning, the number one cause of modem failure. ZoomGuard is not only better than the "varistor" protection found on other modems, but also outperforms most stand-alone surge protectors.
