Talk[edit]

>Hiper Lan is Essentially 802.11a N/W and it is Different from 802.11b/g.

What's this "N/W" term? Is it supposed to be "H/W" (hardware)? And why is Different capitalized? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.77.179.173 (talk • contribs) 02:43, January 28, 2005 (UTC)

I do not know, but I'll correct these issues shortly. — EagleOne\^Talk 21:59, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Performance relative to IEEE 802.11[edit]

The text states that the HIPERLAN standards have higher performance relative to the 802.11 standards. How can this be, when the /1 and /2 variants have the same maximum throughput as 802.11b and g, respectively? — EagleOne\^Talk 21:59, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The physical layers of the two technologies are similar, but HiperLAN provides QoS features at the MAC layer. "Performance" doesn't always equate to "throughput". Unfortunately it seems to me that HiperLAN missed the boat because all the American companies followed the 802.11 crew like sheep. Rpresser 22:50, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Correct form of the name?[edit]

The name as written by ETSI is HiperLAN, just so with lower caps letters fort "iper". Shouldn't this article use this instead of HIPERLAN?

Yes. Done. Mange01 (talk) 22:25, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

IEEE Status[edit]

Why the article states that IEEE is an American organization? The Wikipedia IEEE article clearly states that it is an international non-profit, professional organization. 151.13.5.174 (talk) 12:25, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
