  Radio-Electronics.Com :: OFDM Tutorial
OFDM has been adopted in the Wi-Fi arena where the 802.11a standard uses it to provide data rates up to 54 Mbps in the 5 GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band.
In terms of the equipment to be used the high peak to average ratio of multi-carrier systems such as OFDM requires the RF final amplifier on the output of the transmitter to be able to handle the peaks whilst the average power is much lower and this leads to inefficiency.
The concept of this form of OFDM is that it uses a degree of spacing between the channels that is large enough that any frequency errors between transmitter and receiver do not affect the performance.

 OFDM's New Uses
We can expect to see a war between OFDM and CDMA for dominance of the mobile broadband wireless access market in the next five to ten years.
But OFDM "shares" bandwidth completely differently than both CDMA and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), so it's far from a "drop-in" replacement for those technologies." Practically speaking, "There really isn't much of a battle here (today) since CDMA has more than 150 million worldwide subscribers and OFDM has none.
Certainly OFDM works well for packet-based data, but the jury is still out with large numbers of voice customers.
