The SupraFAXModem 14400 is a v.32bis modem. When it was launched by Supra, Inc. in January 1992 for US$399 (equivalent to $870 in 2023),[N 1] the 14,400 bit/s model was less expensive than most existing 9600 bit/s models. This price/performance ratio made it a disruptive technology, and its introduction drove modem prices sharply downward. Whereas a 9600 bit/s modem was perhaps $599 before its introduction, by the end of the year, $250 14400 bit/s modems were not uncommon.
