OFDM -- Motorola Labs, through extensive research and field tests over the
past four years has established Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
(OFDM) as a key technology in the next generation of heterogeneous wireless
networks. It has proven 30-year-old existing technology can be applied to

This research demonstrates that future all-IP mobile networks using OFDM
technology have the capability to provide a broadband user experience,
previously thought to be unattainable.
