Explaining types of networks

A network is a connection between two or more devices. An example of this is voluntary. For example, it is possible to transfer data from one computer to another or to play multiplayer or team games. The network is also the basis for 2 people to talk on the phone. Briefly speaking, the concept of networking lies in the communication of any device with other devices.

NETWORK TYPES PAN (Personal Area Network) – there can be up to 8 participants and the radius coverage is up to 30 meters. LAN (Local Area Network) – from 10 to 100 users can exist and the radius coverage is up to 100 meters. CAN (Campus Area Network) – connects several LAN networks to itself. A large and multi-segment LAN is created. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) is a network covering the city. It covers a distance of 1000 meters and connects 1000 users. WAN (Wide Area Network) is a global computer network. It unites millions of subscribers (Internet).

LAN (Local Area Network) - Can go up to 1 KM radius. A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communications line or wireless link to a server. Typically, a LAN encompasses computers and peripherals connected to a server within a distinct geographic area such as an office or a commercial establishment.
WAN (Wide Area Network) - No Limit. A wide area network (WAN) is a network that exists over a large-scale geographical area. A WAN connects different smaller networks, including local area networks (LANs) and metro area networks (MANs). This ensures that computers and users in one location can communicate with computers and users in other locations. WAN implementation can be done either with the help of the public transmission system or a private network.
WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) - A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a wireless computer network that links two or more devices using wireless communication within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building. This gives users the ability to move around within a local coverage area and yet still be connected to the network. Through a gateway, a WLAN can also provide a connection to the wider Internet.
Most modern WLANs are based on IEEE 802.11 standards and are marketed under the Wi-Fi brand name.
MAN(Metropolitan Area Network) - A metropolitan area network is a computer network that interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic area or region larger than that covered by even a large local area network (LAN) but smaller than the area covered by a wide area network (WAN). The term is applied to the interconnection of networks in a city into a single larger network (which may then also offer efficient connection to a wide area network). It is also used to mean the interconnection of several local area networks by bridging them with backbone lines. The latter usage is also sometimes referred to as a campus network.
CAN (Campus Area Network) - A campus area network is a computer network made up of an interconnection of local area networks (LANs) within a limited geographical area. The networking equipments (switches, routers) and transmission media (optical fiber, copper plant, Cat5 cabling etc) are almost entirely owned by the campus tenant / owner: an enterprise, university, government etc.
