A wireless personal area network provides a means of interconnecting devices centered around an individual person's workspace typically within or around a hundred-meter range. Learn why this type of network is important for IoT network systems and what the typical examples of wireless personal area networking are.
- [Instructor] So, let's take a look…at wireless personal area network.…The wireless personal area network, called wireless PAN,…refers to a wireless network…consisting of a set of wireless devices…within a person's workspace to exchange and share data.…Recently, more and more small gadgets…and intelligent devices have been emerging on the market.…In many of them,…are equipped with this wireless connectivity.…A wireless PAN can provide convenience and comfort…to our lives.…
And nowadays, the wireless PAN devices…can interact with personal operating space…in a range from tens of meters…to more than a hundred meters in an open field.…What's a low-power wireless PAN?…A low-power wireless PAN, called LoWPAN,…can be considered as low-rate…and low-power version of wireless PAN.…A LoWPAN targets, at low-power, IoT applications…consisting of low-cost, resource constrained devices,…with limited computer capability and memory,…as well as the power supply.…
A LoWPAN uses low-power radio modules…and communication protocols.…
