Funded Activity Summary

Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OOFDM): a breakthrough for ultra-broadband optical fibre systems and infrared wireless personal-area networks. Optical-OFDM provides Australia with an opportunity to develop a new, high-tech, easy-to-export technology with a very large market potential spanning three key communications markets: wireless personal-area networks, local-area networks and long-haul (80-4000 km) optical networks. It is based on innovative Australian technology generated from two research strengths: photonics and OFDM. OFDM is already the basis of most non-optical broadband systems, including digital broadcasting and ADSL. Patent applications have been filed. One application enables bandwidths to rural and remote communities to be quadrupled without laying new cables. By launching off this local market Australian industry can develop a world leading industry.
