U.S. Robotics Dealers Update Bulletin

May 1993 Vol 6 Number 3

-U.S. Robotics Announces V.32 bis PCMCIA Fax/Data Modem

PCMCIA. It's the latest (and longest) industry acronym.  It's also the
first standard developed for credit card-sized peripherals, such as
drives, fax/data modems and LAN adapters.  It's recieved a lot of attention
for its small size, and it's going to receive even more attention from 
corporate buyers because it provides a long-awaited standard for
laptops and palmtops. 

  U.S. Robotics' first PCMCIA products, including a V.32 bis/14,400 bps
PCMCIA fax/data modem, will ship in June, shortly after their debut at
Spring COMDEX in Atlanta.  We also have a Dual Standard PCMCIA product,
which will be shipping in late July.  All our PCMCIA modems include fax and
data support, and are designed for laptop and palmtop PCMCIA 2.0 slots.

  Your potential customer for PCMCIA cards is anyone who needs
communication on the go.  The Number of laptops and palmtops supporting
PCMCIA slots is rapidly growing, and because it's a standard, PCMCIA gives
a portable computer user the capability to easily interchange peripherals.
Our PCMCIA products are also designed to draw minimal power from a laptop
or palmtop, saving battery power for other applications.  

  PCMCIA is also a key technology for corporate accounts with field sales
and support forces, who must have mobile communications capability.  PCMCIA
gives them a flexible, portable, wasy to support solution, and its tiny
size lightens their load.


-USR's first two PCMCIA products to ship are:

World Port 14,400 Fax/Data PCMCIA 2.0 $649 Product Code: 0442-00
Includes V.17/14,400 bps fax capability and CCITT V.32 bix/14,400 bps data
capability.

World Port 2496 Fax/Data PCMCIA 2.0 $349 Product Code: 0443-00
Includes 9600 bps Group III fax capability and CCITT V.22 bis/2400 bps data
capability.

-PCMCIA PRODUCTS RESULT OF P.N.B. Acquisition

These new PCMCIA products are a result of our acquisition of P.N.B.,s.a., a
French data communications company that has manufactured PCMCIA products
for customers such as IBM, Dell, AST, and ZDS. The P.N.B. products also
carry international approvals in nearly 20 countries, and give you an
internationally-approved solution to offer customers now.

-DUAL STANDARD PCMCIA MODEM WITH CELLULAR CAPABILITIES AVAILABLE IN LATE
JULY!

  We'll also ship a Dual Standard PCMCIA product in July.  This modem is
based on our proprietary DSP-based modem architecture, used in Courier,
Shared Access and Sportster products, allowing us to implement the same
high-end features that you'll find in Courier modems, such as Quick Connect
and Adaptive Speed Leveling, reducing training time and optimizing online
transmissions for greatly improved performance.

  The Dual Standard modem includes V.32 bis/14,400 bps capability, plus
HST, our proprietary protocol for 16.8 Kbps data transmission.
Additionally, the Dual Standard modem includes HST Cellular, our new
protocol for cellular data transmission.

-INTERNATIONAL COMPATIBILITY KEY TO PRODUCT DESIGN

  All U.S. Robotics PCMCIA products also provide the advantage of "Smart
DAA" technology, a feature that lets users purchase a DAA designed for a
specific country.  The DAA (Data Access Arrangement) provides the interface
between the telephone system and the modem.  U.S. Robotics' patented "Smart
DAA," available in different country-specific versions, will automatically
configure the modem to that country's specifications, completely
eliminating the complications that can accompany international data
communications.  This gives your customer hassle-free international
compatibility.

-LOOK, MA! NO WIRES!

  Wireless no longer means slow.  Forget the days of three-minute training
times, 2400 bps (or slower) cellular connections, data transmissions that
get dumped before they're dont.  HST Cellular from U.S. Robotics finally
brings cellular data transmission up to speed.  HST Cellular will be
available in WorldPort and Courier products beginning this summer.  Any
Courier HST or Dual Standard modem is upgradable to HST Cellular.

What Is HST Cellular?

  HST Cellular is a new, robust cellular protocol based on USR's
proprietary HST technology.  

After extensive testing with .6 watt cellular telephones, HST Cellular has
been able to achieve in excess of 800 characters per second (roughly 8000
bps), in a moving vehicle.  While standing transmissions exceeded 1200
characters per second (roughly 12,000 bps).  The protocol provides
significant performance improvements over other protocols used in cellular
environments, such as V.42 and MNP 10.

MNP 10 vs. HST Cellular: No Contest

  For lack of an alternative, people have used MNP 10 to transmit data over
cellular.  Here's a lile information about MNP 10:

* A typical MNP 10 connection will be 2400 bps.

* If the caller has to switch cells, which is highly likely during every
cellular call, an MNP 10 modem will have to stop transmitting and start over
again.

* The initial training process alone may actually take minutes with an MNP
10 modem; additionally it has to retrain each time it encounters a new
cell.

* And don't forget, every moment you're online is costing money - usually
a lot of it. (The P/\NTHER: "Yea RIGHT!")

  HST Cellular has several important features that make it the only viable
choice for cellular data transmission.

*  HST Cellular has a potential connect speed of 16.8 Kbps.  Typical
transmission speeds are in the range of 7200-12,00 bps.

* If the call takes a handoff (where the call is switched from one cell to
another), HST Cellular is back up and retransmitting data in less than a
second.

* HST Cellular has the same Quick Train capability that's in our Courier
modems. Connect time is typically around five seconds.

* HST Cellular can automatically adjust to line conditions, speed switching
up or down for optimal transmission, saving big bucks on cellular charges.



-A LITTLE HST History


HST stands for High Speed Technology.  The original HST protocol was
introduced in 1987 as a 9600 bps protocol; the Courier HST was the first
9600 bps modem priced under $1000.  HST was upgraded in 1990 to a speed of
14,400 bps, and again in 1992 to reach 16.8 Kbps.
