Area Network. WAN is a network used in telecommunication or
computers to establish the connection between various devices regardless of
their distant geographical locations. WAN can connect devices from different
regions, countries, and throughout the globe. Devices in a WAN can be connected
through public networks, leased lines, and satellites. The biggest and largest
WAN in this world is Internet.
Generally a WAN is connected
through two or more LANs (Local Area Networks). WANs are used by big business
companies or educational institutions to help their employees, clients or
students stay connected to each other always. WAN comes into use where LANs
fail to connect devices that are situated several miles away from each other.
Initially WANs were able to function at a speed of 56 or 64kbit/s. But as new
technologies emerged, data transmission efficiency has developed and that in
turn increased the working speed of WANs as much as up to 100 Gbit/s.
WANs are either created by some
particular organization as private networks or developed by internet service
providers for larger, broader and general use. Technologists have tried to
demonstrate various aspects of WAN on the basis of mathematical models, network
emulation, and network stimulation. Whatever, WAN provides ultimate service to
help being connected.
