Appendix B - Wireless Basics

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 of a WLAN, but it excels in its efcient consumption

of power. WPANs are ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and

other devices that operate on batteries.
