Personal Area Network

Personal Area Network

• A PAN is a network that is used for communicating among computers and computer devices (including telephones) in close proximity of around a few meters within a room.
• It can be used for communicating between the devices themselves, or for connecting to a larger network such as the internet.
• PAN’s can be wired or wireless.
• A personal area network (PAN) is a computer network used for communication among computer devices, including telephones and personal digital assistants, in proximity to an individual's body.
• The devices may or may not belong to the person in question. The reach of a PAN is typically a few meters.
