Introduction

• • A computer network is a set of computers


sharing resources.
• • Networks enable data sharing and
communication.
• • Types vary based on size, range, and
purpose.
What is a Network?

• • A network connects multiple devices for


communication.
• • Data is exchanged using transmission media
(wired/wireless).
• • Common purposes: file sharing,
communication, and resource access.
Personal Area Network (PAN)

• • Short-range network (few meters).


• • Used for connecting personal devices like
phones, tablets.
• • Examples: Bluetooth, USB connections.
Local Area Network (LAN)

• • Covers small geographic area like homes or


offices.
• • High-speed and low latency.
• • Ethernet and Wi-Fi are common LAN
technologies.
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

• • Spans a city or campus.


• • Larger than LAN but smaller than WAN.
• • Used by ISPs and large organizations for
inter-building connectivity.
Wide Area Network (WAN)

• • Covers a large geographic area (cities,


countries).
• • Connects multiple LANs and MANs.
• • The Internet is the largest example of a
WAN.
Other Network Types

• • Wireless LAN (WLAN): Wi-Fi-based LANs.


• • Campus Area Network (CAN): Connects
networks in a campus.
• • Storage Area Network (SAN): High-speed
network for data storage.
• • Virtual Private Network (VPN): Secure
network over public internet.
• • Global Area Network (GAN): Connects
networks across the globe.
Applications

• • Business communication and collaboration.


• • Data sharing and resource management.
• • Remote access and cloud services.
• • Online education and entertainment.
• • Smart homes and IoT.
Advantages & Disadvantages

• Advantages:
• • Faster communication and information
access.
• • Resource sharing (e.g., printers, files).
• • Centralized data management.
• Disadvantages:
• • Security risks and data breaches.
• • High setup and maintenance costs.
Conclusion

• • Networks are crucial in modern digital life.


• • Choosing the right type depends on range
and needs.
• • Evolving with technologies like IoT and 5G.
