The term "modem" is an abbreviation of Modulator/ DEModulator. A modem changes the bit stream of the PC into analogue signals which then can also be transmitted via the telephone line (modulation). The modem on the other side reverses the conversion (demodulation). Simplified, a modem converts outgoing data into tone and tone incoming via the telephone line back into data. The built-in modem is able to receive data according to the ITU standard for V. 90 transmissions with up 56 Kbit/s. Since the power output of modems is restricted due to the regulations of some telecommunication providers, the possible maximum download speed can be restricted.
