A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) connects computer networks over a larger area than a local area network, such as within a city, using technologies like cable TV networks. It allows sharing of resources over a larger area than a LAN but smaller than a WAN. While more expensive than a LAN, a MAN provides connectivity over a larger area than a LAN within a single city.
