Consumer interest in these proprietary improvements waned during the lengthy introduction of the {{val|28800|u=bit/s|fmt=commas}} [[ITU-T V.34|V.34]] standard. While waiting, several companies decided to release hardware and introduced modems they referred to as [[V.Fast]].
In order to guarantee compatibility with V.34 modems once a standard was ratified (1994), manufacturers used more flexible components, generally a [[digital signal processor|DSP]] and [[microcontroller]], as opposed to purpose-designed [[Application-specific integrated circuit|ASIC]] modem chips. This would allow later firmware updates to conform with the standards once ratified.
