Motorola Labs is developing Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) technology to deliver untethered information access in the home, business, vehicle and for “hot spot” areas (relatively distinct, highly concentrated areas such as business and university campuses).
WLAN technology can enable seamless mobile communications within a manufacturing facility, easy-to-use wireless communications within a home to interconnect multiple devices and appliances, and roadside-to-vehicle data transmissions enabling such services as downloadable audio books from the gas station.
Motorola is also developing Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) technology to enable an individual to seamlessly connect devices over short ranges. The first implementation of these types of networks, called Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15), allows bit rates near 1 Mpbs at ranges of up to 10 meters.
