Transcript Personal Area Networks (PAN)

Introduction for Personal Area Networks
including Infrared, Bluetooth, and Near-Field
Communication.
Presented By Valerie Lim
Personal Area Networks (PAN)
Formed by wireless communications between
devices by way of technologies
Generally cover a range of less than 10 meters
Personal Area Networks (PAN)
Can Be constructed with Cables / Wireless
• Bluetooth
• Infrared
• Near-Field Communication
• It is also called Piconet
An ad-hoc computer network linking a wireless user
group of devices using Bluetooth technology
protocols
• Bluetooth Technology is a fusion of several wireless
technologies used to transfer data in the form of text,
graphics, audio, and video files from one hardware
channel to another.
• Devices can be connected to each other without
wires and cable cords.
• Infrared Technology allows computing devices to
communicate via short-range wireless signals.
Two infrared devices within a few feet of each
other when networking them.
(No more than 5 meters)
• Computer infrared network adapters both
transmit and receive data through ports on the
rear or side of a device.
• The infrared transmission technology used in
computers is similar to that used in consumer
product remote control units.
Eg. TV Remote Control & PS3 Controllers
NEAR-FIELD COMMUNICATIONS
• Short-range wireless connectivity standard that
uses magnetic field induction to enable
communication between devices when they're
touched together, or brought within a few
centimeters of each other.
• Short-range wireless technology that enables
the communication between devices over a distance
of less than 10cm
• Makes life easier and more convenient for
consumers around the world by making it
simpler to make transactions, exchange digital
content & connect electronic devices with a
touch.
