 Types of Computer Networks

1. PAN (Personal Area Network)

 PAN stands for personal area network. A type of computer network PAN is a connection between two or more computer systems that are not too far apart. Usually this type of network is only 4 to 6 meters away. We use this type of network very often. For example, connecting a cellphone to a computer.

MAN stands for metropolitan area network. This type of computer network MAN is a computer network in a city with high-speed data transfer that connects a location such as schools, campuses, offices and government. Actually this MAN network is a combination of several LAN networks. The range of this MAN network can reach 10-50 kilometers.

4. WAN (Wide Area Network)

WAN stands for wide area network. WAN is a type of computer network that covers a fairly large area. an example is a network that connects a region or a country with other countries.
