... technology was created to permit the transmission of digital data over the analog voice telephone network. A typical voice telephone connection provides a communication channel within the audio frequency band between approximately 200 Hz and 3700 Hz (3500 Hz bandwidths.

... Additionally, Frequency Shift Key (FSK) modulation typically requires more bandwidth for a given symbol rate than phase modulation formats such as Phase Shift Key (PSK)
From page 18...
... Me required Sew to support an acceptable BER is most heavily influenced by the symbol rate and Be modulation format which collectively defines Be bit rate. A higher SNR is required to support higher symbol rates and greater bits per symbol.
From page 20...
... techniques over a single TWP are employed for symbol rates above approximately 600 symbols/second. In EC, sophisticated signal processing filtering algorithms are employed to generate and subtract the approximately known outbound local signal from the received signal leaving a sufficiently dominant remote signal to be demodulated.

... This bandwidth is somewhat greater Han He bandwidth Hat a 1200 bps FSK modem requires, and the actual loss in dB/mile will be somewhat greater. For detailed design, the actual modulation frequency band that a modem requires should be obtained from He modem manufacturer and the estimated dimple loss for this frequency band should be obtained from the TWP cable manufacturer, especialRy for long circuits win tight link budgets.

... Thus, increasing bit rates require higher quality circuits for data transmission at acceptable BER. Trellis coding is a sophisticated error control aigori~n Hat is integrated with modulation to achieve substantially improved BER over lower quality circuits.

... V.32/V.34 modems have not been extensively employed in traditional signal systems due to the extensive employment of multidrop circuits Mat are better accomplished with the older FSK, FLU V.29, and rru V.33 modems Mat support faster turnarounds; however, ITS is evolving to ATIS systems where the Raveling public will remotely dial into infonnation services. The V.32/V.34 Moslems will be significant enabling technologies for these applications.

... As a solution, early implementations of the digital hierarchy were conceived that digitized up to 24 analog voice signals into 24 digital voice signals at ~ bits~sample and 8,000 samples/sec to create a DS-O digital signal at 64,000 bps. The analog voice signal is filtered to limit He bandwidth to less than 3100-3500 Hz.
