- Up to 10dB advantage over legacy QAM – now available on multi-carrier (OFDM) networks
- Enables up to 200% network throughput, 50% power savings or 50% spectrum savings
- Example: Transition cellular uplink from QAM16 single carrier today to QAM256 multi-carrier OFDM
- Maintains 100% backward compatibility with fielded OFDM Systems, which are all based on legacy QAM
