WBAN Range:Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) specialize in short-range communication around the human body. Typical ranges fall within 1-2 meters.
Purpose:This range is designed to:
Connect sensors monitoring health metrics.
Transmit data to a central coordinator device (e.g., smartphone).
Minimize interference potential with other wireless networks.

I recall reading that WBANs are typically used for close proximity, so 10 centimeters might be too short. I’m leaning towards the 1-2 meters option.

I practiced a question like this, and I think the answer was 10 meters. But I’m not completely confident about that.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like I saw something about 10 square meters in my notes. That seems a bit larger though.

I think I remember WBANs being pretty short range, maybe around 1-2 meters? That sounds familiar.
