1ptrans.gif (44 bytes) Caller ID Standards

Standards covering aspects of Caller ID data transmission and signaling have been published by various international standards committees, regulatory agencies, and network carriers. In most cases, the standards fall into one of two different categories, depending on how the Caller ID data is transmitted. They are by means of FSK (Frequency Shift Key) modulation or DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) coding.

A key factor in determining what transmission method is used within a given region is the capabilities of the central office switches. Various central office switches may lack the capability of generating an FSK carrier or DTMF tones.
