Wide Area Networks

Distances are of no importance

Wide Area Networks cover (very) long distances to allow companies and institutes located far from each other to directly connect to this network.

Wide Area Networks have – mostly on more than one location – external connections with other big networks. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and multinationals with many offices frequently own a WAN themselves. Other examples are regional education networks and company networks between different branches.
