!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] as described in [RFC 7228] One interesting class of a constrained network often used as a [Constrained Node] [network] is "LoWPAN" [RFC 4919], a term inspired from the name of an [IEEE 802.15.4] [Working Group] (low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs)).  


The expansion of the [{$pagename}] acronym, "Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network", contains a hard-to-justify "Personal" that is due to the history of task group naming in [IEEE 802] more than due to an orientation of LoWPANs around a single person.  Actually, LoWPANs have been suggested for urban monitoring, control of large buildings, and industrial control applications, so the "Personal" can only be considered a vestige.

Occasionally, the term is read as "[Low-Power Wide Area Network] or "Low-Power Wireless Area Networks".  Originally focused on [IEEE 802.15.4], "[{$pagename}]" (or when used for [IPv6], "[6LoWPAN]") also refers to [networks] built from similarly [Constrained-Node Networks] [Link Layer] technologies [V6-BTLE] [V6-DECT-ULE] [V6-G9959].
