A new technology - Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) - offers the potential of speeds 10 times faster than exsisting wireless standards such as GSM and CDMA. OFDM is already used in digital audio broadcasting and wireless short-range networks. Flarion Technologies and other start-up companies are adapting the technology for mobile networks. Nextel has fueled interest in OFDM by allowing Flarion to run a test on a small section of its network in northern Virginia. Verizon said it is monitoring OFDM development as a possible way to improve its existing CDMA 1x offerings.
