scope:

The present document applies to HIPERLAN/2 equipment with the following charateristics:

a) for equipment intended to operate on any of the carrier frequencies in the range of 5 150 MHz to 5 350 MHz:

1) it is capable of operating on all 8 carrier frequencies defined in the range 5 150 MHz to 5 350 MHz;

2) it is also capable of operating over at least 7 carrier frequencies out of the 11 channels in the range 5 470 MHz to 5 725 MHz;

b) for equipment that is not capable of operating in the 5 150 to 5 350 MHz range, it is capable of operating at all of the 11 carrier frequencies defined in the 5 470 to 5 725 MHz range.

The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [1] (R&THE Directive). Article 3.2, which states that '.....radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocatedto terrestrial/space ratiocommunications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".

In addition to the present document, other FNs that specify technical requirements in respectof essential requirements under other parts of Article 3 of the R&TTE Directive will apply to equipment withinthe scope of the present document.
