Study Notes

Computer Network Types

  • A Personal Area Network (PAN) is organized around an individual person and consists of devices such as a mobile computer, a cell phone, or a personal digital assistant.
  • Devices in a PAN can be connected for communication using both wired and wireless connections.
  • A Local Area Network (LAN) is designed to operate over a small physical area such as an office, factory, or a group of small buildings.
  • A defining characteristic of a LAN is that it is a privately owned network.
  • A Campus Area Network (CAN) is made up of an interconnection of LANs with a limited geographical area, such as a university.
  • The primary purpose of a CAN is to connect multiple LANs within a campus.
  • A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) covers the entire city and uses similar technology as LAN.
  • MAN is in between LAN and WAN technology and covers the entire city.
  • A MAN can be a single network, such as a cable TV network.

True or False

  • False: PAN enables communication among devices using only cables.
  • False: LAN is usually a publicly owned network.
  • False: CAN uses similar technology as WAN.
  • True: MAN can be a single network, such as a cable TV network.
  • True: PAN consists of a mobile computer, a cell phone, or a personal digital assistant.
