title: How to use Bluetooth PAN profile through External Accessory Framework
body: <p>I am trying to create a Bluetooth Personal Area Network (PAN) from within my iOS application. Based on the <a href="https://mfi.apple.com/MFiWeb/getFAQ.action#1-2" rel="nofollow">MFi FAQ</a> and <a href="http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3647" rel="nofollow">HT3647</a>, it should be possible to talk to other (non iOS devices) using Bluetooth PAN.
  However, I cannot find any further information on how to accomplish this on iOS.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Is it possible to create a Bluetooth PAN via the External Accessory framework?</li>
  <li>Are there other ways to talk to Bluetooth (not BLE) devices?</li>
  </ul>
