6LoWPAN

6lowpan stands for "IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks". It's like a way for devices to communicate and send data wirelessly to each other using a type of low-powered communication technology. It is mostly used for connecting small devices in a home or office, like sensors or door locks to the internet. Each device has a special small radio that it uses to send and receive data. With 6lowpan, your devices can send and receive data over a certain distance (usually up to hundreds of metres) without needing to use a lot of energy.
