Presentation on Types Of Networks PPT on different Types Of Networks 10 Slides I hope that you allfind it helpful

2. What Is A Network?
 A collection of computers
and other devices
connected via
communications is called a
computer network.
 A Computer Network can
be classified on the basis
of the geographical area it
covers.

3. PAN – Personal Area Network
LAN – Local Area Network
WAN – Wide Area Network
MAN – Metropolitan Area Network
CAN – Campus Area Network
*Types Of Networks
Types Of Networks
PAN – Personal Area Network
LAN – Local Area Network
WAN – Wide Area Network
MAN – Metropolitan Area Network
CAN – Campus Area Network

4. PAN – Personal Area Network
A Personal Area Network is a network
of communicating devices including
computers, phones, MP3/ MP4 players,
cameras, etc., placed in the proximity
of an individual. Here, this picture
given aside, depicts a computer
attached to other devices through a
PAN.
A PAN can cover an area of a few metres (generally up-to 10 Metres approx.) in
radius. For example, to transfer songs from one cell phone to another, you set
up a PAN between them. Similarly, to transfer a song file from one computer to
an MP# player, a PAN is set up between the two devices. A PAN can use either a
wired media (E.g. – USB Cable), or a wireless media (E.g. – Bluetooth).

5. LAN – Local Area Network
A Local Area Network is a computer
network that spans an area confined
to a building or a group of buildings.
Here, aside is a picture which shows a
LAN which has a server connected to
other computers or devices through a
hub.
A hub is a hardware networking device that connects a number of computers
and computing devices on a network through its ports. Data is transferred from
a sender computer to a hub, and from there it is broadcasted to all the
computers attached to other ports of the hub.
A LAN can span an area of about a kilometre in radius. Computers in an office
building are usually connected through a LAN. A LAN is mostly built-up by
Ethernet cables.

6. WAN – Wide Area Network
A Wide Area Network usually refers
to a network that covers a very
large geographical area , which may
span a country, a continent, or even
the hole world. It includes public
packet networks, corporate
networks, military networks,
banking networks, stock brokerage
networks, and airline reservation
networks. All these networks are
considered to be individual WANs.
Various LANs are interconnected to
form a WAN, for which a ROUTER is
used.
Here is a picture given above which displays a WAN connecting computers all over
the globe.

7. MAN - Metropolitan Area Network
A Metropolitan Area Network
is a network that covers an
area larger than that covered
by a LAN but smaller than
that covered by a WAN. It is a
data network designed for a
town or a city. The cable
television network that is
available in many cities, is an
example of a MAN. Here is a
picture given that exhibits
computers connected to
other networks through a
MAN. A MAN can cover an
area of a few hundred
kilometres I radius.

8. CAN – Campus Area network
A Campus Area
Network is the
interconnection
of LANs within a
limited
geographical
area such as a
school campus,
military base
etc. Here on the
left, is a picture
of A CAN that
depicts buildings
connected
through a CAN.
