MEO satellite"HiperLAN is a set of wireless local area network (WLAN) communication
standards primarily used in European countries. There are two specifications: HiperLAN/1 and
HiperLAN/2. Both have been adopted by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
The HiperLAN standards provide features and capabilities similar to those of the IEEE 802.11 wireless
local area network (WLAN) standards, used in the U.S. and other adopting countries. HiperLAN/1
provides communications at up to 20 Mbps in the 5-GHz range of the radio frequency (RF)
spectrum. HiperLAN/2 operates at up to 54 Mbps in the same RF band. HiperLAN/2 is compatible with
3G (third-generation) WLAN systems
for sending and receiving data, images, and voice communications. HiperLAN/2 has the potential, and
is intended, for implementation worldwide in conjunction with similar systems in the 5-GHz RF
band.
