Bluetooth/WPAN
WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) has a smaller area of coverage, say, 2.5 mW transmitter power, distance <10m Ericsson started the study of such systems in 1994 Bluetooth Special Interest Group, or SIG was formed in 1998. Members of SIG: Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Nokia, Toshiba, and later Microsoft, 3Com, Motorola 1,500 pages of specification developed in 1 and half years

Bluetooth
Basic architecture for IEEE 802.15 standard Named after the Danish King Harald Bluetooth who ruled approximately from A.D. 940 to 985, and who is reported to have united Denmark and Norway. The Bluetooth logo was inspired by the initials H and B. Works in the same frequency band as Wi-Fi devices in ISM band (2.400-2.483 GHz) Uses FHSS (1600 hop/s over 79 channels spaced 1 MHz apart) Transmitting rate: less than 1Mbps

Applications
Wire replacement to connect a PC or laptop to its keyboard, mouse, microphone, printer, and notepad: Electronic equipment uses cables which connect to a multitude of devices using a wide variety of connectors with many combinations of shapes, sizes and number of pins; this plethora of cables can become quite burdensome to users. With Bluetooth technology, these devices can communicate without wires over a single air-interface, using radio waves to transmit and receive data. Bluetooth handles both voice and data, and is an ideal technology for unifying these worlds by enabling all sorts of devices to communicate using either or both voice and data. Ad hoc networking of several users at short range, e.g., in a conference room Enough speed for file transfer, printing, etc., but not enough for live video
