ROSEMENT, Ill.-Motorola Inc. said its field tests and research have
proved that its Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing technology can
provide future all-Internet Protocol mobile networks with user experience
“previously thought to be unattainable” with peak downlink speeds of
up to 300 megabits per second.
The field tests of Motorola Labs’ mobile OFDM
system, which were conducted in the greater Chicago area in both urban and
suburban environments, validated that a 20 MHz mobile OFDM channel can support
peak uncoded channel rates of that speed, the carrier said.
“The promise
of faster wireless networks that can meet the demand for mobile broadband that
supports multimedia applications has a great appeal to operators,” said the
company.
