Consider the PAN in the home shown in Figure 7-2. Just as with the PAN in the office, various devices can communicate with one another by using Bluetooth radio. Consider the following example, which illustrates the potential of this technology: When you go home, tired after a hard day’s work, you can put dinner in the microwave oven and relax in your living room while watching the TV. When dinner is done, the microwave oven will flash a message on the TV indicating that it’s time to eat. (Despite all the conveniences that Bluetooth affords, you still need to eat dinner with your own hands!) Perhaps this Bluetooth scenario has the potential of making you a couch potato, but this is just one example of the advantages of wireless networking in the home.
