Broadband Radio Access Networks (BRAN); 5 GHz high performance RLAN; Harmonized EN covering essential requirements of article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive

Scope

The present document applies to 5 GHz high performance RLAN equipment which is used in wireless local area
networks. Such networks provide high speed data communications in between devices connected to the wireless
infrastructure. The present document also applies to ad-hoc networking where these devices communicate directly with
each other, without the use of a wireless infrastructure. The equipment uses a medium access protocol designed to
facilitate spectrum sharing with other devices in the wireless network.
5 GHz high performance RLAN equipment covered by the present document is operated in accordance with the ECC
Decision (04)08 [5] and the Commission Decision 2005/513/EC [6]. The equipment is intended to operate in the
frequency ranges 5 150 MHz to 5 350 MHz and 5 470 MHz to 5 725 MHz.
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of article 3.2 of R&TTE Directive [1], which states that:
"…radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio
communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
