Taking advantage of the
modern telephone network
x2 technology uses the increasingly digital
telephone network to bring you faster
downloads, by eliminating the analog-to-digital
conversion in the downstream path.
x2 takes advantage of the typical network
configuration found when an analog subscriber
connects to a digitally connected server.
Because it bypasses the analog-to-digital
conversion in the downstream path, x2 can use
nearly all of the available 64K network
bandwidth. (Upstream data, typically less
speed sensitive, travels at the standard V.34
rate.)

The result is a completely new kind of
transmission technique. Based on "encoding"
rather than "modulation," it can give you
download speeds that you never thought
possible. What's more, with standard V.42 bis
compression, x2 can download at speeds up
to a blistering 115.2 Kbps.
The new standard for online
speed
U.S. Robotics has already submitted x2 to the
ITU-T standards committee for acceptance as
the next online standard.
