Wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN)

ETSI (European telecommunication standards institute) developed HIPERLAN which provides data rate 23.5 Mbps in the 5 MHz band. For this FCC allocated 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz for IEEE 802.11 a/b/g. The HIPERLAN can be used as WMAN and the system can be named as HIPERMAN. Thus HIPERMAN is similar to IEEE 802.11 a/b/g.
