But commercial versions have only recently come to fruition and onto the market. "Due to high data rates of modern multimedia applications and efficient FFT/IFFT algorithms, the OFDM technique becomes more and more important ... " The "FFT/IFFT algorithms" has been a primary sticking point for adopting of OFDM technology. The argument that has been valid in the past is "it works great in the lab but is not a practical technology in the real world because it takes a fast DSP to do fast fourier transforms fast enough . . and fast DSP are very expensive". What has changed is that fast DSPs and DSP cores that can be implemented into customs ASICs are now readily available and cheap.
