scope:

The present document applies to radio equipment types for wireless access systems (WAS)/radio local area networks (RLAN) operating at multiple-gigabit data rates in the 60 GHz frequency range. These applications may also be referred to as Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) or Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) systems and are intended for licence-exempt short-rangedevices. Economic benefits of this usage apply to a variety of markets includingcommunications, computing, and consumer electronics by enabling the transfer of large amounts of information in a short amount of time (for example, from a kiosk to a mobile phone) or the continuous streaming of uncompressed data (for example, the external video interfaces of a computer or high definition disc player).
