  The aim of this article is to give an alternative proof of Tataru's
dispersive estimates for wave equations posed on the hyperbolic space. Based on
the formula for the wave kernel on hyperbolic spaces, in \cite{MR2743652}, we
give the proof from the perspective of Bessel potentials, by exploiting various
facts about Gamma functions, modified Bessel functions, and Bessel potentials.
This leads to our proof being more self-contained than that in Tataru
\cite{MR1804518}.
