Study Notes
Types of Networks
- Local Area Network (LAN): Covers a limited area, such as a single building or site.
- Personal Area Network (PAN): The smallest network type, consisting of personal digital devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
Cable Use in Networks
- Copper and Fiber Optic Cables: Both can be utilized in various networks, specifically in LANs and MANs.
Distance Limitations
- Metropolitan Area Network (MAN): Typically spans a city or a large campus; distance limitations are generally up to 50 kilometers.
- Wide Area Network (WAN): Covers a broader area than MAN, extending across cities, countries, or continents.
Summary of Network Characteristics
- LAN Main Characteristic: Designed for limited areas, enabling high-speed communication and resource sharing within the network's boundaries.
