A network allows computers to communicate and share resources. A Local Area Network (LAN) connects devices in a small geographic area like a single room or campus. A Wide Area Network (WAN) spans a large geographic area like an entire city and uses technologies like telephone lines or satellites. A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) covers a moderate size area and can use technologies like cables or wireless.
