🌐 Understanding Core Network Types: LAN, MAN, and WAN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Three primary network architectures define how digital devices connect across different distances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

  1. LAN<\/strong><\/a> (Local Area Network)<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

  2. MAN<\/strong><\/a> (Metropolitan Area Network)<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

  3. WAN<\/strong><\/a> (Wide Area Network)<\/strong><\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Each serves unique scopes\u2014from local connectivity in buildings to extensive communication across cities and continents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Local Area Network (LAN)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A LAN<\/strong> connects devices within confined locations like homes, schools, or office buildings. It typically utilizes Ethernet or Wi\u2011Fi and delivers high data speeds\u2014ranging from hundreds of megabits to multiple gigabits per second. LANs are also simpler to design and manage due to their limited reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
