RSA Communications to Demonstrate 56K Soft Modem at Windows CE Conference.RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 3, 1998-- Native Modem Technology Delivers Full-Featured Data/Fax Modem Enabling Advanced Communications for a Multitude of Products RSA (1) (Rural Service Area) See MSA. (2) (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) A highly secure cryptography method by RSA Security, Inc., Bedford, MA (www.rsa.com), a division of EMC Corporation since 2006. It uses a two-part key. Communications Inc., Friday announced that it will be demonstrating 56 Kbps capabilities for its Native Modem Technology (NMT (Nordic Mobile Telephone) An analog cellular phone system deployed in more than 40 countries in Europe. Launched in the Scandinavian countries in 1979, NMT was the first analog cellphone system. Both 450 MHz and 900 MHz versions are available. See cellular generations. ) at the Windows CE (Windows Consumer Electronics) Microsoft's version of Windows for handheld devices and embedded systems that use x86, ARM, MIPS and SHx CPUs. Windows CE .NET superseded Windows CE 3.0. Developers Conference to be held April 6-8, in San Jose San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. NMT software provides a full-featured, high-performance 14.4 Kbps fax and 56 Kbps data modem by utilizing the power of advanced RISC processors, and eliminates the requirement for dedicated modem hardware in size- and power-constrained environments. NMT can be customized to fit the processing requirements and cost structure of various RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. processor-based products requiring communications, including handheld PCs (H/PCs), organizers, set top boxes, games and multi-function peripherals (MFPs). RSA is an active participant in the International Telecommunications Union See ITU. (body, standard) International Telecommunications Union - (ITU) ITU-T, the telecommunication standardisation sector of ITU, is responsible for making technical recommendations about telephone and data (including fax) communications systems for PTTs and suppliers. (ITU (International Telecommunication Union, Geneva, Switzerland, www.itu.ch) A telecommunications standards body that is under the auspices of the United Nations. Comprising more than 185 member countries, the ITU sets standards for global telecom networks. ), and has been closely monitoring the evolution of two competing 56K standards -- the K56flex technology introduced by Rockwell Semiconductor and Lucent Microelectronics, and 3Com's x2 technology. With the ITU's issuance of the draft V.90 standard for 56K communications this January, RSA immediately began enhancing its NMT-based modem to be V.90-compliant with the purpose of providing a standards-based solution for Windows CE based H/PCs and other products requiring advanced communications facilities. "Once the V.90 standard is officially ratified -- currently expected this fall -- we will release an upgrade for NMT with full V.90 support," explained Munther Qubain, president and chief executive officer of RSA Communications. "We are firm supporters of standards-based modem technology, and intended to support all relevant communications standards for our NMT solution." At the Windows CE Developers Conference, RSA will be demonstrating NMT's 56Kbps operation utilizing the powerful processing capabilities of Hitachi's SH-3 RISC engine.
