Companiesandmarkets.com Releases New Report on Personal Area Networks - Solutions and Market Opportunities

Northampton, United Kingdom, May 22, 2008 --(PR.com)-- With almost all the media attention on the evolution of 3G/4G Wide Area Networks (WAN), advancements in Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) technologies such as WiMAX, and Wireless Local Area Network (LAN) improvements through 802.11n and MIMO, many people do not realize the role, importance and market opportunities for Personal Area Network (PAN) solutions. Whereas WAN, MAN, and LAN solutions are often focused mainly on coverage for bearer communications, PAN provides a "last meter" solution for application personalization as well as opportunities for non-voice communications, machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, and a variety of next generation applications and application-enablers such as presence detection, identify recognition, and more.
