| Digital Simultaneous Voice and Data |
|
A mid-1990s technology introduced by modem makers to allow simultaneous voice and data over a single phone line. A technique supported by some modems for multiplexing compressed speech with digital data for transmission over a normal telephone line. An all-digital technology for concurrent voice and data (SVD) transmission over a single analog telephone line. DSVD is endorsed by Intel, Hayes, U.S. Robotics and others and has been submitted to the ITU for possible standardization. DSVD modems became available in the first half of 1995. DSVD isn't standardised yet, so generally you have to have the same make of modem at both ends for it to work. |
