The projections of the demand of broadband services show a vertiginous growth in the next decades. The modulation scheme that supports the physical level of such services is the Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) that thanks to their orthogonal characteristics, overcome the transmission barriers imposed by the communication channels. After illustrating the fundamentals of why OFDM achieves its objective and detailing the mapping and model of communications in base band, the present and future of potential applications of OFDM are indicated. It is likely that a model for the new generations, in which time, frequency and code concur in space, will arise.
