In This Article. An SSID (service set identifier) is the primary name associated with an 802.11 wireless local area network ( WLAN ), including home networks and public hotspots. Client devices use this name to identify and join wireless networks. In simple terms, it's the name of your Wi-Fi network.
Finally, you may consider Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPAN), usually based on IEEE 802.15.4, and include overlay protocols like Zigbee, ISA100.11a, WirelessHART, 6loWPAN and Thread.Body Area Networks (BAN) A Body Area Network is formally defined by IEEE 802.15 as, " a communication standard optimized for low power devices and operation on, in or around the human body (but not limited to humans) to serve a variety of applications including medical, consumer electronics / personal entertainment and other " [IEEE 802.15]. In Specifically, ZigBee network is an emerging technology designed for low cost, low power consumption and low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPAN) with a focus on the device-level
Abstract Bluetooth wireless technology is an open standard for short-range radio frequency communication used primarily to establish wireless personal area networks (WPANs), and has been integrated into many types of business and consumer devices.
