Local Area Network (LAN) Local Area Network connects the computer hardware (i.e. Server, Printer, or Personal Computers) together withing localized area such as office building or home. The LAN is most often connected by wire (Martin, 2016). It is the smallest network generally (Frenzel, 2007). Pros One of the advantages of LAN is the speed (1000mbps), the small number of devices on LAN bring fewer problems like transmission errors. If LAN requires a couple of extra devices it is not very expensive(Jasujaved
Local area networks (LANs). DEFINITION The concept of local area networks (LANs) is not new. It represents a logical development of computer technology. With the advent of microcomputers in the 1980s many office workers began bringing their own disks into work, compromising data integrity. They also began keeping their own databases, which companies did not like. The answer was to create a computer network. A computer network is a group of computers connected together enabling users
LAN – LAN stands for Local Area Network and it supplies connections for the use of Computers, printers, games and other applications most of the local area network is built in with a fairly cheap hardware such as Ethernet network adapters. WAN – WAN stands for wide area network which supplies the network thorough a larger company worldwide there is a reason why WAN networks is so easily can connect with LAN which is a small network. The largest in internet network is WWW which also stands for World

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a gathering of PCs that are associated together in a small, localized region to correspond with each other and offer resources. Information is sent as packets. The most broadly utilized LAN innovation is the Ethernet and is indicated in the standard IEEE 802.3. Ethernet utilizes a star topology as a part of which the individual devices are connected with each other by means of dynamic network hardware, for example, switches. Star topology permits clients to effectively
• Describe what the user mainly use a specific LAN for A local area network (LAN) is a computer network within a small environmental area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, office building or group of buildings. A LAN is composed of inter-connected workstations and personal computers which are each capable of accessing and sharing data and devices, such as printers, scanners and data storage devices anywhere on the LAN. LANs are characterized by higher communication and data transfer rates
February 8, 2014 February 8, 2014 LAN Topologies Assignment Case Project 2-1 You have been hired to upgrade a network of 50 computers currently connected to 10 Mbps hubs. This long-overdue upgrade is necessary because of poor network response time caused by a lot of collisions occurring during long file transfers between clients and servers. How do you recommend upgrading this network? What interconnecting devices will you use, and what benefit will you get from using these devices? Write a
The Network allows computers to connect and communicate with different computers via any medium. LAN, MAN and WAN are the three major types of the network designed to operate over the area they cover. There are some similarities and dissimilarities between them. One of the major differences is the geographical area they cover, i.e. LAN covers the smallest area; MAN covers an area larger than LAN and WAN comprises the largest of all. There are other types of Computer Networks also, like: • Peer to
Type of Network Features Personal area Networks (PAN) • A computer network set up around an individual person in one building. i.e. in a house or a small office • When used by two or more people it is sometimes called a home area network(HAN) • Can use computers, telephones video game consoles, and other devices • It is managed from a single computer but it is accessible using any device • Uses a modem which can provide both wired and wireless connections for a number of devices • Provides great
requirements of the system for this network in order to convince the management of the given case study company. There are many types of networks here are a few examples of them; WAN, LAN, MAN & PAN. WAN (Wide Area Network) is a network which maybe computer or telecommunications network that extends in a large geographical distance, it interconnects a multiple of (LANs) Local Area Networks. The Advantages of a WAN are; WANs allow a great and more intricate network also can cover a near infinite
