EVDO

Evolution Data Only/Evolution Data Optimized is an "evolution" of CDMA networks that is based on the 1xRTT standard, providing faster wireless data transmission speeds of 400K bit/sec. to 700K bit/sec. with a theoretical peak of 2.4M bit/sec. Verizon Wireless and Sprint Corp. in the U.S. were rolling out the service in early 2005, connecting to laptops via a plug-in card.

FLASH-OFDM

Flash-OFDM is a proprietary cellular broadband technology that network operators can deploy either for notebook computers of mobile users or serve as a fixed wireless access system, bridging the "last mile" to connect computers in homes and small offices. Key features include an all-IP architecture and fast speeds. The technology is capable of letting users traveling at 250 kilometers per hour to download data at speeds up to 1.5Mbit/sec. or upload at speeds up to 500Kbit/sec. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) works by splitting radio signals into smaller low-speed signals that are transmitted in parallel, reducing crosstalk and using bandwidth efficiently, but decreasing range.
