Planningforthefirstversionofthestandard,calledHiperLAN/1,started1991,whenplanningof802.11was
alreadygoingon.ThegoaloftheHiperLANwasthehighdatarate,higherthan802.11.Thestandardwas
approvedin1996.ThefunctionalspecificationisEN300652,therestisinETS300836.

FailureintheMarket
DuetocompetitionfromIEEE802.11,whichwassimplertoimplementandmadeitfastertothemarket,
HiperLANneverreceivedmuchcommercialimplementation.[3]MuchoftheworkonHiperLAN/2hassurvivedin
