LAN (Local Area Network) is used within a small
geographical area, which is usually limited to one
building.
These networks can be connected wirelessly but for

LOCAL reliability, wired hardware (Ethernet) is often used.

AREA Examples of LANs:


⚬home networks
NETWORK ⚬small businesses
⚬schools and colleges
WAN (Wide Area Network)
is spread across a large
geographical area, often an
entire country or further.

WIDE AREA The internet is a large scale


WAN, which uses undersea
cables to connect
NETWORK computers across the
world.
Examples of WANs:
⚬the internet
⚬mobile networks
⚬banking networks
PAN (Personal Area Network) is used within a very
small area. This is usually on a person or in a vehicle.

Bluetooth is usually used to connect these devices,


which has a typical range of about 10 metres.
PERSONAl
Examples of PANs:
AREA ⚬smartwatches

NETWORK ⚬wireless headphones


⚬wireless
keyboards/mice
⚬car entertainment
systems
MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) Connects devices
within a larger geographical area, such as a city or a
large campus.
A MAN is designed to connect multiple LANs within a
metropolitan area, allowing them to communicate and
share resources efficiently.

METROPOLITAN Examples of MANs:


⚬Campus Network
AREA NETWORK ⚬Healthcare
