<p>WPANs (wireless personal area network) are devices that provide wireless connectivity for a personal network system essentially creating a small and private wireless network</p><h2>What is a WPAN?</h2><p>Similar to Bluetooth connectivity in nature, A WPAN is a system that allows for devices that interconnect in an individual's personal workspace to have a wireless network. A WPAN can be utilised in technology that allows for wireless connectivity within 10 meters.</p><p>WPANs are a technology that can also be used to interconnect all communication devices found on a personal desk by creating a private network.</p><h3>What is the difference between WPAN and WLAN?</h3><p>WPANs are designed to network devices and transfer information of a short distance in a private wireless network whereas WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) is used to transfer information over wider distances in environments such as homes, office buildings and schools.</p><h3>Where are WPANs used?</h3><p>WPANs are widely used in an array of applications such as;</p><ul><li>Mobile Phones</li><li>Smart Watches</li><li>Laptops</li><li>Tablet devices</li><li>Printers</li></ul>

<p>ZigBee Modules are small integrated boards which are tested, calibrated and pre-certified so you can add ZigBee functionality without these complications. Module manufacturers are generally helpful and can help you with embedding ZigBee into a design and overcoming technical hurdles.</p><h2>What is ZigBee?</h2><p>ZigBee is a wireless networking standard built on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard which defines the physical and MAC layers. It is best suited to low bandwidth applications and has a range of up to 70 metres but data can be sent further if relayed through a network of ZigBee nodes.</p><p>A possible alternative to a ZigBee Module is a System-on-Chip (SoC) with integrated ZigBee.</p><h3>Advantages of ZigBee</h3><ul><li>Very low cost</li><li>Simple to implement</li><li>Low power consumption</li><li>Secure data transfer</li><li>Typical ZigBee Applications</li><li>Industrial Automation</li><li>Asset Tracking</li><li>Remote Sensors</li></ul>
