TYPES OF 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

PERSONAL
has a typical range of about 10 metres.

AREA Examples of PANs:


smartwatches

NETWORK wireless headphones


wireless keyboards/mice
car entertainment
systems
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.

Examples of LANs:
home networks
AREA
small businesses
schools and colleges
NETWORK
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 computers
NETWORK across the world.

Examples of WANs:
the internet
mobile networks
banking networks
A type of network that
connects LANs across a
campus or a limited
geographical area.

Examples of CANs:
CAMPUS Common uses include

AREA providing internet access,


enabling file sharing, and
supporting educational
NETWORK resources like online courses
and digital libraries.
A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a
computer network that connects computers
within a metropolitan area, which could be a
single large city, multiple cities and towns, or
any given large area with multiple buildings
Examples of MANs:
METROPOLITAN A city government network connecting different
departments and buildings.
AREA NETWORK
A university campus network connecting different
buildings and departments.

A cable or telephone company's local network


providing internet access to homes and businesses.
