Types of Networks

A computer network connects computers and devices to facilitate communication and sharing of resources. There are several types of networks including local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and metropolitan area networks (MANs). LANs connect devices in close proximity like within an office or home. WANs connect non-local devices over a wide geographic area like the internet. Other network types include storage area networks (SANs), campus area networks (CANs), personal area networks (PANs), and desk area networks (DANs).

Network
• A computer network, often simply referred to as
a network, is a collection of computers and devices
connected by communications channels that
facilitates communications among users and allows
users to share resources with other users.

• Networking is the process by which two or more


computers are linked together for a flawless
communication
The various types of
networks are:
1. LAN- local area network
2. WAN- wide area network
3. MAN - Metropolitan Area Network
4. SAN - Storage Area Network
5. CAN - Campus Area Network
6. PAN - Personal Area Network
7. DAN - Desk Area Network

  A local area network (LAN) supplies networking
capability to a group of computers in close proximity
to each other such as in an office building, a school, or
a home. A LAN is useful for sharing resources like
files, printers, games or other applications.

A wide area network (WAN)
is a geographically dispersed
telecommunications network.
A wide area network may be
privately owned or rented, but
the term usually connotes the
inclusion of public (shared
user) networks. 

Wide Area Network


A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a
communication network made up of computers that are
non-local to one another, exchanging data across a
wide area or great distance. The most common
example is the Internet, though a WAN need not be
global to qualify as a wide area network.

•WAN provides services such as E-


mails, chats etc.
•It covers a larger area with lesser
cost.
•Helps in entering or retrieving
data from the far remote areas at
