Mobile Broadband at Virginia Tech: Benefits to Student Body, Faculty, Support Staff, and Public Safety
Overview Mobile broadband is defined as broadband access in the cellular environment. The term is synonymous with FLASH-OFDM, a 3G alternative system developed and marketed by Flarion Technologies. Just as the cellular phone revolutionized voice telephony by freeing the user from wires and stationary constraints, mobile broadband is doing the same for high-speed data. Users are no longer confined to desks, no longer tethered to wires, no longer restricted to a stationary environment. Mobile broadband is a step up from local wireless data applications like WiFi (and eventually WiMax), which gets rid of the wire, but not the confinement. Flarion FLASH-OFDM mobile broadband technology provides wide area coverage and works in mobile and fixed environments.
