What is a
computer
network?
 A type of digital telecommunications
network that enables the exchange of
resources between various types of
networks.
 Using connections between nodes,
computing devices communicate with
one another in computer networks.
Types of
networks.
The followingare considered commonly used
form of networks available:
 PAN
 LAN
 WAN
Let us discuss each in detailin the following
slides
PAN (Personal
Area Network).
 A PAN is a network of information
technology devices that are connected
inside the physical space of a single user.
 The standard distance is ten meters.
 Among them could be laptops, telephones,
printers, or smartphones.
LAN (Local Area
Network).
 LANs are networks used when computers in an
schools require to interact with one another.
 For a LAN connection, the following are
required: Cables (wired and optical), file server
terminals, and print servers.
 LAN does not span over a geographical area
greater than a city.
WAN (Wide Area
Network).
 WANs are used when computers from many locations or
continents must connect.
 WANs span over a large geographical area.
 A common example of a WAN is the Internet.
 These networks are used by industry, government, and
educational institutions to send data to workers, students,
customers, and buyers as well.
Advantages of using networks.
LAN
 Through computers linked
together, we can send data
and messages without
difficulty.
 The fact that all data is saved
on the file server, data backup
is simple.
WAN
 Spans a wider geographic
region.
 Enables individuals or
scattered workstations to
share resources and
programs.
Disadvantages of using networks.
LAN
 Spans over small
geographical area.
 Calls for ongoing LAN
management due to problems
with software configuration
WAN
 It is not cheap to setup.
 Provides fewer safety
precautions than various
types of networks.
 Loss of autonomy.
The End.
