Introduction to

Computer
Network
by Noor Suhaira Alia Arshad
Main Objective
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to
1.Define what a computer network is.
2.Explain the benefits of using computer networks.
3.Describe the basic components of a computer
network.
4.Identify different types of networks (LAN, WAN,
etc.).
Outline of the
lesson
1.Introduction to Computer Networks
2.Benefits of Computer Networks
3. Components of a Computer Network

4.Types of Computer Networks


What is a computer
network?
• A collection of interconnected

devices that communicate and

share resources.
• A system where multiple

computers are connected to

share information, resources

and communicate efficiently.


Why are networks
important?
1.Collaboration: Enables sharing of files and
data between users.
2.Resource Sharing: Allows multiple devices
to access shared resources like printers or
storage.
3.Communication: Facilitates email,
messaging and video calls across distances.
4.Cost Efficiency: Reduces hardware costs
through shared use of resources.
Components of Computer
Network
1.Nodes: Devices like computers,
printers, and scanners that are
connected to the network.
2.Networking Devices:
Hardware like routers and
switches that control network
traffic.
3.Communication Media: The
physical or wireless pathways
used to connect nodes.
Types of Computer Networks

1.LAN (Local Area


Network): A network
covering a small
geographic area, like a
single building.
Types of Computer Networks
2. WAN (Wide Area Network): A network that
covers a broad area, often connecting multiple
LANs.
Types of Computer Networks
Other types:
• MAN (Metropolitan Area
Network)
⚬ Network in a city.
⚬ Covers larger area in a city
or town by connecting
LANs to a larger network
of computers.
⚬ Size of MAN is larger than
LANS and smaller than
WAN
Types of Computer Networks
Other types:
• PAN (Personal Area Network)
⚬ the computer network that connects
computers/devices within the range of an individual
person
Summary
1.Computer networks connect devices to facilitate
communication, resource sharing and efficiency.
2.Key types include LAN and WAN, each serving
different geographical scopes.
3.Essential components like routers, switches and
cables ensure network functionality.
