Siemens Continues OFDM Push

Posted by Hemos on from the super-fast-super-fly dept.

Khoo writes "German telecommunications gear maker Siemens is backing a new kind of broadband wireless technology that will compete with Wi-Fi and 3G cellular services." As we covered recently, speed tests have been up to 360 Mbps and one of the latest rumours is that they will use it in conjunction with VoIP servers. That's unconfirmed, but particularly for new phone deployments, laying no wire would be nice. And Yes, Virginia - ITMJ is part of OSTG, like Slashdot.

    This article is an example that acronyms do not support understanding. OFDM is "orthogonal freqency division multiplexing". In other words, it's a kind of modulation. It does not compete with Wi-fi. 802.11g uses OFDM too.
