Taking advantage of the Taking advantage of the
modern telephone network 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. x2 bypasses the analog-to-digital
conversion in the downstream path to 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
4
standard V.42 bis compression, x2 can
download at speeds up to a blistering 115.2
Kbps.

U.S. Robotics has already submitted x2
technology to the ITU-T standards
committee for acceptance as the next online
standard.
