Computer Area Network??
editA Personal Area Network is not specifically designed for just computer use, it for any device to use around one's person (such as a walkman communicating to headphones). I recommend changing the term computer devices to electronic devices. -MrLaister 24/04/07 its the top network out there that a person can use personally — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.89.209.79 (talk) 08:15, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Protocols or Standards for PAN (not Wireless)
editI am seeing no references to the standards or protocols that "PAN" relies on. The article is too heavily weighted in describing WPAN and radio technologies that can be used to carry PAN. "PAN" should probably operate over most any connection, even persons banging rocks together. The wireless carrier is a distractor and has moved the focus away from what PAN is.

- There is brief discussion of wired technology in Personal_area_network#Wired. ~Kvng (talk) 16:22, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
Skinplex
editThe following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The Skinplex section under WPAN does not describe how it incorporates PAN or WPAN. From viewing the posted external link, it appears to be a near-field sensor and not an actual 802.15 data bus. It also appears to be a commercial plug or advertisement. This may be related to Body area network IEEE 802.15.6 but it is unclear. If so, the section should be retitled as "Body Area Network" and possibly with Skinplex added as an example. Stephen Charles Thompson (talk) 19:18, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
