LAN stands for Local Area Network . A LAN is a network that connects computers in a relatively small and predetermined area (such as a room, a building, or a set of buildings).
LAN networks can be connected to each other through telephone lines and radio waves. A system of LAN networks connected in this way is called a WAN , an acronym for Wide-Area Network, realtek wifi adapter Wide Area Network EXAMPLE:
MAN
A metropolitan area network ( Metropolitan Area Network or MAN ,) is a network of high - speed ( broadband) that covers a large geographic area, provides ability to integrate multiple services by transmitting data, voice and video On transmission media such as fiber optic and twisted pair (MAN LOOP), copper pair technology is positioned as the largest network in the world an excellent alternative for the creation of metropolitan networks, due to its low latency (between 1 and 50ms), high stability and lack of radio interference, MAN LOOP networks, offer speeds of 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 45Mbps, 75Mbps, over copper pairs and 100Mbps, 1Gbps and 10Gbps by Fiber Optic.
WAN
A wide area network , often referred to as WAN , an acronym for the English wide area network , is a type of computer network capable of covering distances from about 100 to about 1000 km, providing service to a country or a continent . An example of this type of networks would be RedIRIS , Internet or any network in which all its members are not in the same building (on the distance there is possible discussion).
Many WANs are built by and for a particular organization or company and are for private use, others are built by internet providers ( ISPs ) to provide connection to their customers.
