Introduction for Personal Area Networks including Infrared Bluetooth

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 & PS 3 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 10 cm

• 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.
