• The main objective of Computer Network is to share data/information from one device to another.

• Network Devices :
• The network devices are devices that help to communicate between computer devices. The most
popular network devices are Network Cables, Switch, Router, Bridge or Hub, etc.

WIFI ROUTER SWITCH


BENEFITS OF NETWORKING
Setting up a computer network is a fast and reliable way of sharing information and resources
within a business. It can help you make the most of your IT systems and equipment.

Advantages of computer networking

• File sharing - you can easily share data between different users, or access it remotely if you
keep it on other connected devices.
• Resource sharing - using network-connected peripheral devices like printers, scanners and
copiers, or sharing software between multiple users, saves money.
• Sharing a single internet connection - it is cost-efficient and can help protect your systems if
you properly secure the network.
• Increasing storage capacity - you can access files and multimedia, such as images and music,
which you store remotely on other machines or network-attached storage devices.
TYPES OF NETWORKS BASED
ON GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS
A computer network can be divided into the following types, based on the geographical area that they cover, they are:
• LAN(Local Area Network)
• MAN(Metropolitan Area Network)
• WAN(Wide Area Network)

 LAN(Local Area Network)


A local area network is a network, which is designed to operate over a very small geographical or physical area such as an
office, building, a group of buildings, etc.

 MAN(Metropolitan Area Network)


A Metropolitan Area Network is a bigger version of LAN that uses similar technology as LAN. It spans over a larger
geographical area such as a town or an entire city.

 WAN(Wide Area Network)


A Wide Area Network is the largest spread network. It spans over very large-distances such as a country, continent or even the
whole globe. Two widely separated computers can be connected very easily using WAN. For Example, the Internet.
