LAN is a type of network that interconnects computers and devices either wired or wireless and covers a greater distance. LAN is mainly used in private organisations such as college or university. More or less everyone uses wireless router at home these days and the user is able to connect between 5-10 devices wirelessly. The user can share the broadband or the connection with ADSL by using Ethernet cables. Smaller LANs can connect at least 2-3 computers using one cable. It also depends on the size of the organisation. Smaller LANs are easier to manage. The users need to be careful when using larger LANs and need to make sure that the network within it is transmitted efficiently. The user can increase the number of computers connected by using routers and switches. This ensures that the network administrator has higher level of control over the network. IEEE 802.3 is the wired Ethernet used by LAN and therefore it is related to LAN. The set up cost for LAN is relatively cheap. WAN stands for Wide Area Network. It is a type of network that interconnects the LANs meaning it connects the LANs together over large distance. WAN is used in school or college or in a joint network
WAN(Wide Area Network)-Wan is 2 or more local area networks connected together.It is fairly expensive to set up but like the LAN it is very fast.There are many different ways of creating WANS”S like using VPN’s over the internet.A WAN is created when the users of a LAN frequently needs access to rescources of another
There are various types of equipment that the company should look for when considering this network. The first item to look at when considering equipment is the Operating system and software that we would need. Next, the group took into consideration the type of server the company needs to make this network a reality. Another thing that we looked at is the possibility of having ThinClients over regular desktops for all workstations. Of course, it was taken into consideration that some employees would not want ThinClients. So, we show the type of tower we plan to place into those spaces, along with any peripheral device for both. Then, we will look at the network devices that will go into each building that include switches, routers, repeaters, hubs, and wireless access points. Finally, the group will note guidelines for choosing a local ISP at each site. Each Item outlined helps to build a network based on the specifications given by the company.
Ethernet is typically the technology that is used to allow computers locally to communicate with one another. Computers that are close to each other they are connected by Ethernet.
6. Why is Ethernet technology more appealing to users than the rest of the LAN technologies?
LAN stands for Local Area Network. LAN is a type of network that interconnects computers and devices either wired or wireless and covers a greater distance.

The user can share the broadband or the connection with ADSL by using Ethernet cables. Smaller LANs can connect at least
When setting up a LAN the architecture that you decide to choose is important. There are several factors that are decided when choosing said architecture, some of these being network speeds, types of cables, and access control mechanisms like collision detection (Team, 2011). The most common on in today’s LANs is Ethernet. These can be either wireless, wired, or a hybrid of both.
A LAN is a ‘Local Area Network’. It is a small network of computers most often
A: LAN: LAN stands for Local Area Network. LAN is a network which cover a small area like colleges, schools or buildings.
Describe the data communication types used historically and the developments that have led to modern day Local Area Networks (LANs). Detail any emerging technologies and where you think data communications are likely to be in ten years’ time.
A LAN networks job is to link computers together through a central device. That central device is the router, it is what transfers data to and from computers with an Ethernet cable or wirelessly as long as you are connected to the network. When you connect to the internet you are actually connecting to millions of networks that are connect through a multitude of ways: telephone lines, cable, and even fiber optic lines. A LAN and the Internet are the same only in the way that they both need a router to, well, route traffic. You actually can incorporate the Internet access into a LAN. The modem must be connected to the router and then that will provide a gateway between the Internet and the network connection. A firewall is very important
WAN (Wide area network) WAN connects computers and devices within a wide area WAN is usually used in business to send data between employees, buyers, and suppliers from anywhere in the world. WANs standards are pretty much the same as LAN’s standards and protocols they are both on TCIP. IEEE 802.14 Cable modem, IEEE 802.6 MANs (DQDB), IEEE 802.7 Broadband LAN using Coaxial Cable ISDN and ASL broadband these are the standards for
A Wide Area Network ( WAN) is a computer network covering multiple distance areas, which may spread across the entire world. WANs often connect
The ability to send and receive data efficiently is the most important objective of networking computers.
One of our teachers walked into my office a few months back and asked me
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.
