1. Personal Area Network (PAN) Infrared Bluetooth Near-Field Communications

2. What is Personal Area Network (PAN)? A personal area network (PAN) is the interconnection of information technology devices within the range of an individual person, networks often cover an area of 30 feet. It could be wired or wireless

3. What is Infrared? It allows the devices to communicate via short-range wireless signals. With infrared technologies devices can transfer files to another devices bi-directionally when infrared port of each device pointing at each other.

4. How does Infrared works? point to point It is how so many household products using infrared eg. remote control, cell phone, camera and thermometers

5. What is Bluetooth? A universal wireless standard for connecting various digital devices which allows to share voice, music, photos, videos, and other information wirelessly between two paired devices.

6. Shortwave radio frequency Transceivers microchips By transferring date through shortwave radio frequency and each device has embedded a microchips to allow to connect and communicate with other Bluetooth device How Bluetooth works? Microchip AMicrochip B

7. Near-Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless technology that enables to communicate or share information within 10cm in distance. By simply communicate with 2 devices so it can able to make transaction, transfer files and information.
