V.90 & K56Flex: The Benefits of V.90 Dual Mode

Due to Ositech's strong commitment to customer satisfaction we provide the most flexible 56K modem solution for PC Card modem users. Ositech's complete line of 56K PC Card modems ship pre-configured to support both the ITU V.90 and Conexant K56Flex standards. This provides many important benefits to Ositech modem users worldwide:

  • No Flash Upgrade Required: Many earlier 56K modems require users to "flash upgrade" their modem with a software utility provided by the manufacturer. This flash may require the user to re-configure their modem. Since this is not necessary with Ositech 56K modems, there is no modem downtime or wasted hours on technical support lines.

  • High Speed 56K Connections Are More Likely: Because the modem has been specifically designed to support both 56K standards, you have a much greater chance of taking advantage of high speed 56K connections. If your ISP has not made the transition to V.90, then your modem will make a K56Flex connection.

  • Automatic V.90 or K56Flex Negotiation: No user intervention is required because the modem is able to automatically detect what standard the host modem is using and configure itself.

  • No Need to "Toggle between V.90 or K56Flex": Early 56K modems might offer a V.90 upgrade, but when the modem is upgraded the K56Flex support is lost. Some manufacturers offer a piece of software that allows you to toggle between the 56K standards. Ositech's modems do not require this solution because they ship with both 56K versions pre-loaded and tested.

Ositech offers an aggressive evaluation program for corporate purchasers, which allows companies to test and examine Ositech's modems in their own environments and discover the difference in productivity and flexibility Ositech's PC Cards make.
