Flash-OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is a new signal processing scheme from Lucent/Flarion that will support high data rates at very low packet and delay losses, also known as latencies, over a distributed all-IP wireless network. 

The low-latency will enable real-time mobile interactive and multimedia applications. 

It promises to deliver higher quality wireless service and better cost effectiveness than current wireless data technologies.

At the heart of the technology is the RadioRouter product, which the company said in a statement will lead to an order of magnitude cost advantage over third generation (3G) wireless networks for mobile data access.
