Type Of Computer Network

Generally, a Computer Networks System are classified into five sections,

1. Local Area Network (LAN)

          Local Area Network (LAN), a privately owned networks within a single building or campus-sized to several kilometers. LAN is often used to connect personal computers and workstations in a corporate office or factories to put together resources (such as printers) and exchange information. 

2. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

          Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), essentially a LAN version of the larger size and usually use the same technology to the LAN. MAN can include corporate offices are located adjacent or also a city and can be used for private purposes (private) or public. MAN capable of supporting both voice and data, can even relate to the cable television network. 

 3. Wide Area Network (WAN)

          Wide Area Network (WAN), the range covers a wide geographical area, often covering a country or even continent. WAN consists of a collection of machines intended for running programs (applications) user. 

4. Internet

          Actually there are many in this world networks, often using hardware and software that is different. People who are connected to the network are hoping to be able to communicate with other people who are connected to other networks. Desires such as these require a network connection between the often kampatibel and different. Normally to do this requires a machine called a gateway to engage and carry out the necessary translation, both hardware and software. Collection of interconnected networks is called the internet. 

 5. Wireless Network

          Wireless network is a solution to the communication that can not be done with the wired network. For example, people who want to get information or to communicate despite being located above the car or plane, it is absolutely necessary because the cable network without a wired connection is not possible in a car or plane. Nowadays wireless networks has been rapidly adopted by utilizing satellite services and can provide faster access speeds than the wired network.
