IEEE 802.15 WPAN™ MARKET POSITIONING CHARTS
We originally provided two (2) market positioning charts to help you understand the addressable WPAN™ market. The first is the Wireless WAN to WPAN vs. Data Rates and Mobility Chart and the second is the IEEE 802 Wireless Standards Positioning vs. Data Rates and Mobility Chart; the following definitions provide background for your reference in reading these charts.- WAN (Wide Area Network)
- WANs interconnect facilities in different parts of a country or of the world
- MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
- MANs shall be capable of operating over an area up to 50 Km in diameter
- LAN (Local Area Network)
- LANs shall be capable of supporting segments at least 100 meters in length. LANs composed of segments connected by physical layer inter-networking devices, shall be capable of operating over a physical medium that is at least 2 Km in length.
- PAN (Personal Area Network)
- PANs shall be capable of supporting segments at least 10 meters in length.
Note: It is worth noting since the 802.15.1 PAR approval on 18Mar99 the WG has had two (3) new PARs approved and the these charts need to be updated.
