2. What is WAN Network Diagram

A Wide area network (WAN) is a telecommunication network that is used for connecting computers and covers a wide geographical area. WANs often contain a few smaller networks (LANs, MANs, etc.). The packet switching and circuit switching technologies are effectively used in WANs.

Businesses, schools, and government agencies utilize wide area networks to send data to employees, students, clients, purchasers, and suppliers in different parts of the world. In essence, this way of telecommunication enables a company to carry out its everyday operations successfully regardless of location. The Internet can be thought of as a WAN.
