ITU-T

The '''ITU Telecommunication Mosquito ringtone Standardization Sector''' ('''ITU-T''') coordinates standards for telecommunications on behalf of the Sabrina Martins International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
It was formed in 1993 to replace the '''International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee''' ('''CCITT''', from the French name "'''Comité Consultatif International Téléphonique et Télégraphique'''").

The sector divides its work into categories that are each identified by a single letter, referred to as the "series" (see below), and recommendations are numbered within each series, for example "V.90".

Since 1960, the recommendations were presented to four-yearly "plenary assemblies" for endorsement, and the full set of recommendations were published after each plenary assembly, in a set of volumes titled collectively for the colour of their covers. For example the publication after the 1980 plenary session was the ''Yellow Book'' while that after 1984 was the ''Red Book''. These publications were divided into "fascicles" of several hundred pages that could be bought separately.

A standard that has been amended retains its designation so that, for example, in the mid-1980s, terminal equipment for connection to an X.25 (packet switched) network might need alternatives depending on whether the network implemented the 1980 (''Yellow Book'') or the 1984 (''Red Book'') version of the standard.

A standard can be developed that extends or is complementary to an existing one rather than replacing it. Such a standard is designated by the suffix "bis" or "ter" added to the base standard name, for example "V.26 bis" and "V.26 ter".

**V.22bis/V.22 bis An extension of V.22 using Quadrature_amplitude_modulation/QAM modulation at 600 bauds to carry data at 2400 or 1200 Bit rate/bit/s, with fall-back to V.22 mode.
**V.23 A recommendation for half-duplex communication between two analogue dial-up modems using frequency-shift keying/FSK modulation at up to 600 or 1200 bauds to carry digital data at up to 600 or 1200 Bit rate/bit/s respectively. An optional 75 bauds reverse channel carries 75 bit/s.
**V.24 A list of definitions for interchange circuits between data terminal equipment (DTE) and data circuit terminating equipment (DCE), first agreed in 1964. This is equivalent to a subset of EIA RS-232/RS 232: for the electrical and physical details, see V.28 and others.
**V.25 A recommendation, first agreed in 1968, for automatic calling and/or answering equipment on dial-up lines, using interchange circuits defined in V.24 specifically for parallel automatic calling. It includes procedures for disabling network echo cancellers and suppressors.
**V.25/V.25 bis An extension of V.25 using the serial interchange circuits defined in V.24 for normal data transfer. Command formats are defined for asynchronous, and synchronous character- or bit-oriented (HDLC) operation.
**V.26 A recommendation, first agreed in 1968, for full duplex/full-duplex communication between two analogue fixed-line modems using Phase-shift keying/PSK modulation at 1200 bauds to carry synchronous data at 2400 Bit rate/bit/s. An optional 75 bauds reverse channel carries 75 bit/s in either direction.
**V.26/V.26 bis An extension of V.26, first agreed in 1972, for half-duplex operation of dial-up modems, adding a fall-back rate of 1200 Bit rate/bit/s (still at 1200 bauds).
**V.26/V.26 ter An extension of V.26, first agreed in 1984, for full duplex/full-duplex fixed-line or dial-up operation to carry synchronous or asynchronous data with a fall-back rate of 1200 Bit rate/bit/s (at 1200 bauds), separating channels by echo cancellation.
**V.27 A recommendation, first agreed in 1972, for full duplex/full- or half-duplex communication between two analogue fixed-line modems using PSK modulation at 1600 bauds to carry synchronous data at 4800 Bit rate/bit/s. An optional 75 bauds reverse channel carries 75 bit/s.
**V.27/V.27 bis An extension of V.27, first agreed in 1976, adding a fall-back modulation rate, compatible with V.26, of 1200 bauds to carry data at 2400 Bit rate/bit/s. An adaptive equalizer is included to handle lower grade lines.
**V.27/V.27 ter An extension of V.27/V.27 bis for use on dial-up lines.
**V.28 A recommendation, first agreed in 1972, for unbalanced electrical circuits for data communication. Together with the circuit specifications of V.24 and the 25-pin connector and pin assignments of IS 2110, this is compatible with EIA RS-232/RS 232.
**V.29 A recommendation, first agreed in 1976, for full-duplex communication between two analogue fixed-line modems using Quadrature amplitude modulation/QAM modulation at 2400 bauds to carry synchronous data at 9600 Bit rate/bit/s. Fallback rates of 7200 and 4800 bit/s use 2400 bauds at reduced modulations. Multiplexing of 7200, 4800 and 2400 bit/s subchannels up to an aggregate rate of 9600 bit/s is optional. An adaptation of this standard is used for facsimile (fax) transmission.
**V.32 A recommendation, first agreed in 1984, for a family of duplex analogue dial-up or fixed-line modems using Quadrature amplitude modulation/QAM modulation at 2400 bauds to carry data at 9600/4800/2400 bit/s.
**V.32/V.32 bis A duplex modem operating at data signalling rates of up to '''14 400''' bit/s for use on the general switched telephone network and on leased point-to-point 2-wire telephone-type circuits, with fallback to 12000 bits/s. This standard was improved on by modem manufacturers to create the V.terbo adhoc standard, signalling at 19,2 kb/s, as suggestive of a V.32ter standard that never materialized.
**V.34 is the ITU-T standard for full-duplex data communications up to '''28,800''' bit/s with fallback to lower speeds depending on the remote modem and the conditions of the phone line. This standard was known informally as V.Fast, hence pre-standard modems called V.FC (V.FastClass).
**V.34+ (aka V.34 bis) A communications protocol for full-duplex datacommunications up to '''33,6 kb/s''' between two analog modems on dial-up lines.
**V.42 Error correction protocol
**V.42bis/V.42 bis Data compression procedures for data circuit terminating equipment (DCE) using error correction procedures to try to ensure the transfer of error-free data, even over the noisiest telephone lines. Ratified by CCITT in January 1990.
**V.44 Data compression protocol
**V.90 A digital modem and analogue modem pair for use on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) at data signalling rates of up to '''56 000''' bit/s downstream and up to 33 600 bit/s upstream, using PCM encoding downstream, and QAM encoding upstream. V.90 Mode 2 used PCM upstream as well. This standard was known informally as V.Last and some pre-standard modems indicate V.Last compatibility or upgradeability. Prior to the arrival of the standard, there were two competing industry standards for 56 kbit/s downstream signalling, X2 and K56flex. K56flex itself is a merged standard of K56 and 56flex.
**V.92 A digital modem and analog modem pair for use on POTS at data signalling rates of up to '''56 kbit/s''' downstream and up to '''48 kbit/s''' upstream, using PCM encoding both ways, supporting Modem-on-Hold technology. This is a development of V.90 Mode 2.
