How did technology help modems get faster?

What will be an ideal response?


As technology progressed, modems became faster and faster. To get past the 2400-baud limit, modems modulated the 2400-baud signal multiple times in each cycle. A 4800-bps modem modulated 2 bits per baud, thereby transmitting 4800 bps. All PSTN modem speeds are a multiple of 2400, with the latest (and last) generation of modems achieving 2400 × 24 = 57,600 bps (56 Kbps).
