Wide Area Network (WAN)

Wide Area Network (WAN): Connecting Across Distances

AWide Area Network (WAN)is a computer network that spans large geographical areas, connecting multiple local networks (LANs) or devices across cities, countries, or even continents. The Internet itself is the largest example of a WAN.

Key Features of WAN

· Large Coverage: Enables communication across long distances.

· Flexible Connections: Uses fiber optics, satellites, cellular networks (4G/5G), or the public internet.

· Security Options: Supports VPNs, firewalls, and encryption to protect data.

· Complex Structure: Requires routers, switches, and advanced routing protocols.

Common Applications

· Business Operations: Connects headquarters with branch offices for file sharing and centralized systems.

· Finance: Ensures secure and real-time transaction data transfer.

· Education & Research: Supports remote learning and global collaboration.

· Cloud Access: Provides remote entry to cloud platforms and resources.
