<!-- @hide -->
<p>Provides classes to manage Low-power Wireless Personal Area Network (LoWPAN) functionality on the device.
Examples of such network technologies include <a href="http://threadgroup.org/">Thread</a> and
<a href="http://www.zigbee.org/zigbee-for-developers/network-specifications/zigbeeip/">ZigBee IP</a>.</p>
<p>The LoWPAN APIs provide a means by which applications can communicate
with the lower-level wireless stack that provides LoWPAN network access.</p>
<p>Some APIs may require the following user permissions:</p>
<ul>
<li>{@link android.Manifest.permission#ACCESS_LOWPAN_STATE}</li>
<li>{@link android.Manifest.permission#CHANGE_LOWPAN_STATE}</li>
<li>TBD</li>
</ul>
<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Not all Android-powered devices provide LoWPAN functionality.
If your application uses these APIs, declare so with a <a
href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html">{@code <uses-feature>}</a>
element in the manifest file:</p>
<pre>
&lt;manifest ...>
&lt;uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.lowpan" />
...
&lt;/manifest>
</pre>
