Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPANs. Bluetooth devices in WPANs operate in a
range up to 30 feet away.
The speed and wireless operation range of a WPAN is less than a WLAN, but it doesn’t use nearly as much power.
WPANs are ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and other
devices that operate on batteries.
