Introduction to Networks
Networks are a fundamental part of our modern world, facilitating
communication, collaboration, and access to resources. In the digital age,
a network refers to a collection of interconnected devices and systems
that can communicate with each other. This could include anything from
a simple connection between two computers to the vast web of devices
and infrastructure that make up the internet. The concept of networking
has evolved significantly, from local area connections to global networks
that transcend geographical boundaries.
Types of Networks
Local Area Network (LAN) Wide Area Network (WAN) Metropolitan Area Network
(MAN)
A LAN is a network that
connects devices within a WAN spans a large MAN covers a city or a large
limited area such as a geographical area, connecting campus, providing
residence, school, or office devices across cities, connectivity between

In a bus network, all devices are connected to a central cable called the bus. It's a
straightforward topology used in small networks with limited devices.

The rollout of 5G networks is set to revolutionize connectivity with ultra-fast
speeds, low latency, and the capacity to support a massive number of connected
devices simultaneously.

2 Internet of Things (IoT)


The IoT is rapidly expanding, leading to an interconnected web of devices and
systems that communicate and share data, opening up new possibilities for
automation and connectivity.

3 Smart Cities
Networks are at the heart of the smart city concept, enabling the integration of
various technologies to improve infrastructure, transportation, energy
management, and public services.
