Near-field communication ( NFC) is a set of communication protocols that enables communication between two electronic devices over a distance of 4 centimetres (1.6 in) or less. [ 1] NFC offers a low-speed connection through a simple setup that can be used for the bootstrapping of capable wireless connections. [ 2]
Wi-Fi positioning system (WPS, WiPS or WFPS) is a geolocation system that uses the characteristics of nearby Wi‑Fi access points to discover where a device is located. [1]It is used where satellite navigation such as GPS is inadequate due to various causes including multipath and signal blockage indoors, or where acquiring a satellite fix would take too long.

Long-range Wi-Fi. Long-range Wi-Fi is used for low-cost, unregulated point-to-point computer network connections, as an alternative to other fixed wireless, cellular networks or satellite Internet access . Wi-Fi networks have a range that's limited by the frequency, transmission power, antenna type, the location they're used in, and the ...
Wireless network technologies. General Packet Radio Service ( GPRS ), also called 2.5G, [ a] is a mobile data standard on the 2G cellular communication network's global system for mobile communications (GSM). [ 1] Networks and mobile devices with GPRS started to roll out around the year 2001. [ 2]
The Infrared Data Association ( IrDA) is an industry-driven interest group that was founded in 1994 [ 1] by around 50 companies. IrDA provides specifications for a complete set of protocols for wireless infrared communications, and the name "IrDA" also refers to that set of protocols. The main reason for using the IrDA protocols had been ...
Zigbee. Zigbee is an IEEE 802.15.4 -based specification for a suite of high-level communication protocols used to create personal area networks with small, low-power digital radios, such as for home automation, medical device data collection, and other low-power low-bandwidth needs, designed for small scale projects which need wireless connection.
