Personal Area Networking
The Bluetooth Personal Area Networking (PAN) Profile enables PCs,
laptops, PDAs, and other Bluetooth enabled devices to form either of
two kinds of PAN networks. In a Group ad-hoc Network (GN), which
functions as an isolated network, multiple PAN Users (PANUs) are
linked together via a GN controller.
Alternatively, a PAN can consist of multiple PANUs linked to a Network
Access Point (NAP), which provides access to external Local Area Net-
work (LAN) infrastructure. BlueSoleil supports all three of these device
roles — GN (controller), PANU, and NAP.
Typical Usage
• Group Ad-hoc Network (Peer-to-peer networking) — One device
