Wireless communication supposed a great both quantitative and qualitative, jump in the management of the information, allowing the access and interchange of it without the need of a physical cable connection. The wireless transmission of voice and information has remained in constant evolution, arising new standards like Bluetooth', Wibree™ or Zigbee™ developed under the IEEE 802.15 norm. products. And wireless networks are taking their place right next to traditional hardwired configurations. The industry is moving toward the implementation of networks of wireless sensors that can operate in demanding environments and provide clear advantages in cost, size, power, flexibility, and distributed intelligence. These newest wireless technologies are oriented to systems of communication of short-medium distance and optimized for a low cost and minor consume, with the aim of its integration in mobile devices or embedded systems, being stablished as the technology of the future for small nets or systems of captation of information. In this paper, the role of the LR-WPAN technologies for industrial applications is presented and discussed.
