The document defines and compares different types of computer networks including LANs, WANs, MANs, wireless networks, and PANs. LANs connect devices within a small area like a building, WANs connect LANs over long distances, MANs operate within a city, and wireless networks transmit data without cables using technologies like Wi-Fi and cellular.

LAN (Local Area Network):


• LANs are confined to a small geographic area such as a single
building or a campus.
• They typically use Ethernet or Wi-Fi technologies for
communication.
• LANs are commonly used in homes, offices, schools, and small
businesses to connect devices like computers, printers, and
servers.
2. WAN (Wide Area Network):
• WANs span large geographic areas, such as cities, countries, or
even continents.
• They connect LANs and other types of networks over long
distances, often using leased lines, fiber-optic cables, or satellite
links.
• The internet is the largest WAN, connecting millions of devices
worldwide.
3. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network):
• MANs cover a larger geographic area than LANs but smaller than
WANs, typically a city or metropolitan area.
• They provide high-speed connectivity to connect multiple LANs
and other network infrastructure within a city.
4. Wireless Networks:
• Wireless networks use radio waves or infrared signals to transmit
data without physical cables.
• Wi-Fi is a common wireless technology used for LANs in homes,
offices, and public spaces.
• Cellular networks, such as 4G LTE and 5G, provide wireless
connectivity over large areas for mobile devices.
5. PAN (Personal Area Network):
• PANs are used for connecting devices within the personal
workspace of
