As a powerful wearable solution, the Smart Shirt System
can act as an enabler of the personal area network (PAN).
As computing devices become smaller and more portable,
people have taken to carrying notebook computers, pagers,
PDAs, and cell phones nearly everywhere they go. The next
technological step is to connect these disparate devices and
create a single network that would relieve the user from the
redundancy of features and concern over where information
is stored. As third generation cellular networks are
introduced and wireless local area networks and Bluetooth technology
proliferate, Sensatex will be able to facilitate the
deployment of the PAN using the Interconnection
Technology of its Smart Shirt and the unique features of its
communications and data management infrastructure. The
System’s unique advantage is its ability to interface with
devices both wirelessly and with wires, thus permitting a
total solution to generate optimal connectivity. 208
