Answer:

PAN (Personal Area Network)

Step-by-step explanation:

A network that typically reaches only a few meters (10 m or 33 ft) and contains personal devices like mobile computers, smartphones and handheld devices is called PAN (Personal Area Network).

PAN enables communication between devices that are near a human being (i.e. only for shorter distances).

It can be wireless such as bluetooth earphones used with the smartphone, wireless keyboard and mouse used with laptop or computer, TV and remote control communication.

It can be wired such as wired earphones used with the smartphone, any USB (Universal Serial Bus) device connected to a computer/laptop.
