Personal Area network
A PAN can be defined as a network of devices in the personal operating
space of the user. The user is carrying a laptop, a PDA, a mobile phone, a wireless headset and a digital camera. The
devices are networked with each other by means of high-data-rate WPAN technology. The mobile phone, the laptop and the PDA
can also communicate to the rest of the world by means of Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System (UMTS) technology or Wireless Local Area Network
(WLAN) technology. This configuration enables e.g. pictures taken by the digital
camera to be emailed by means of the email client on the PDA and the UMTS
connection of the mobile phone.
Personal Network
A Personal Network is envisaged as the next step in achieving unlimited communication between peoples electronic devices. A PN provides the technology needed to interconnect the various private networks of a single user seamlessly, at any time and at any place. Such private networks are home networks, car networks, company networks, PANs, and others. Often, a user wants to remotely access content, applications, or resources that are located in one of his private domains.
Example: A business man who is at a conference wants to take pictures of the various demonstrators without having to worry where the pictures should be stored: on the memory card of the camera, the hard disc of the laptop, the content server in the office, or the desktop computer at home. A PN should solve the current limitations that inhibit (user-friendly) access.
