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