 HiperLAN Alliance: HiperLAN (High Performance European Radio LAN) Alliance 
              is supported by ETSI HiperLAN. The technology supported will have 
              a bandwidth of 23.529 Mbps and have a transmission band: 5.15 - 
              5.25 GHz spectrum. Its support for multi-hop routing, time-bounded 
              services and power saving features are expected. Some of the key 
              members are Apple, Hewlett Packard, Harris Semiconductor, IBM, Nokia, 
              Proxim, Intermec, and STMicroelectronics.  The mission of the HIPERLAN Alliance is to accelerate 
              the worldwide deployment of HIPERLAN/1 systems through increased 
              market awareness, developer cooperation and user education. HiperLAN2 Global Forum: HiperLAN/2 Global 
              Forum (H2GF) is an open industry forum, supporting broadband 
              wireless LAN solutions offering data rates up to 54 Mbps, using 
              the 5GHz spectrum, OFDM physical layer technology. Our mission is 
              to: Drive the adoption of HiperLAN2 as the global broadband wireless 
              technology in 5 GHz band, providing untethered connectivity for 
              mobile devices in corporate, public and home environments.  The HiperLAN2 Global Forum was launched in September 
              1999 supported by six founding members, Bosch, Dell, Ericsson, Nokia, 
              Telia and Texas Instruments. Other key members include Alcatel, 
              Cambridge Silicon Radio, Canon, Lucent, Intersil, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, 
              Motorola, National Semiconductor, NTT, Philips, Samsung, Siemens, 
              Sony, Silicon Wave, Toshiba and Xilinx. |
