3 Wireless Protocols and Technologies for the Internet of Things
3.1 WPAN Technologies for IoT
Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) technologies play a crucial role in connecting IoT devices within short communication ranges. These technologies enable devices to exchange data wirelessly and are designed for low-power, low-cost, and short-range communication. For instance, Bluetooth is a widely adopted WPAN technology which allows seamless wireless connections and offers low-power consumption through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), making it suitable for IoT devices like wearables and home automation systems. Zigbee, designed for IoT applications, provides low data rates, long battery life, and robust mesh networking ...
