Approche parallèle pour la transmission des signaux vocaux entre un site cellulaire et un téléphone sans fil. La technologie numérique transforme les signaux vocaux en une série de zéros et de un (code binaire du langage informatique). Le codage informatique est ainsi transmis sur les voies radio. Lorsque les données arrivent à destination, elles sont reconverties pour obtenir le signal vocal d'origine. 1, record 1, French, - num%C3%A9rique

Once a call is established, the TA-1035(A)/U can alternate between voice and data modes. For voice communications, the DNVT uses continuously variable slope delta modulation encoding/decoding at 16 or 32 kbps. Extension network analog data interface is provided via the data port. For data communications, the TA-1035/U data adapter interfaces directly with standard Data Terminal Equipment(DE) such as the AN/UXC-7 tactical facsimile machine and AN/UGC-144 communications terminal. Data calls may be placed manually via keypad or automatically via extension dialing through the data port. 1, record 2, English, - digital%20non%2Dsecure%20voice%20telephone
