Supports mobile communications across wireless LANs and satellite coverage areas = Global Area Network (GAN) Made up of smaller networks and covers a large geographical area = Wide Area Network (WAN) Uses open connections or virtual circuits instead of physical wires between nodes = Virtual Private Network (VPN) Uses wireless and/or wired technology within a limited area = Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
Match the following descriptions with the correct network technology:
Connects a single computer or LAN to the Internet using DSL technology = DSL Provides Internet connectivity through cable infrastructure = Cable Internet Enables Internet access via satellite connections = Satellite Facilitates Internet connection through cellular networks = Cellular WAN
Match the network category with its description:
Personal Area Network (PAN) = Composed of personal devices like cell phone and notebook computer, communicating at close range Local Area Network (LAN) = Used for workstations, servers, printers, and other devices to communicate and share resources in a small local area Wireless LAN (WLAN) = Covers limited geographical areas where networking cables are difficult to install Campus Area Network (CAN) = Interconnection of local area networks within a limited geographical area, common in academic settings
Match the network category with its primary technology:
Personal Area Network (PAN) = Can use wired connections like USB or wireless connections like Bluetooth Local Area Network (LAN) = Can use wired technologies like Ethernet or wireless technologies like Wi-Fi (802.11) Wireless LAN (WLAN) = Primarily uses wireless technologies due to difficulties in installing networking cables Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) = Covers a large campus or city with a network infrastructure
Match the type of network with its coverage area:
Personal Area Network (PAN) = Communicating at close range at least about 20-30 feet Local Area Network (LAN) = Covers a small local area such as a home, office, or small group of buildings Wireless LAN (WLAN) = Covers limited geographical areas like outdoors, public places, and unwired homes Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) = Can cover a large campus or city area
Match the network category with its application scenario:
Personal Area Network (PAN) = Connects personal devices like cell phones and notebooks in close proximity Local Area Network (LAN) = Facilitates communication and resource sharing within a small local environment Campus Area Network (CAN) = Interconnects LANs within an academic setting or limited geographical area Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) = Covers a broad geographic region like a large campus or city
Match the network category with its primary connectivity options:
Personal Area Network (PAN) = Can use wireless connections like Bluetooth or infrared for short-range communication Local Area Network (LAN) = Can use either wired connections like Ethernet or wireless connections like Wi-Fi Wireless LAN (WLAN) = Primarily relies on wireless technologies due to the limitations of installing cables Campus Area Network (CAN) = Integrates interconnected LANs within a specific geographical area, often academic environments
Match the network category with its typical reach:
Personal Area Network (PAN) = Typically communicates at close range but expected to increase with advancements in technology Local Area Network (LAN) = Covers a small local area such as a home, office, or small group of buildings Wireless LAN (WLAN) = Covers limited geographical areas where installing cables is challenging Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) = Capable of covering large campuses or cities
Explore different types of network categories based on size or physical area they cover, including Personal Area Network (PAN) which consists of personal devices like cell phones and notebook computers communicating at close range.
