A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a telecommunication network that covers a broad area (i.e., any network that links across metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries). Business and government entities utilize WAN to relay data among employees, clients, buyers, and suppliers from various geographical locations. In essence this mode of telecommunication allows a business to effectively carry out its daily function regardless of location.Geographical LocationWAN is a computer network spanning regions, countries, or even the world. However, in terms of the application of computer networking protocols and concepts, it may be best to view WAN as computer networking technologies used to transmit data over long distances, and between different LAN,MAN and other localised computer networking architectures. This distinction stems from the fact that common LAN technologies operating at Layer 1/2 (such as the forms of Ethernet or WiFi) are often geared towards physically localised networks, and thus cannot transmit data over tens, hundreds or even thousands of miles or kilometres.WAN PurposeWAN are often built using leased lines. At each end of the leased line, a router connects the LAN on one side with a second router within the LAN on the other. Leased lines can be very expensive. Instead of using leased lines, WANs can also be built using less costly circuit switching or packet switching methods. Network protocols including TCP/IP deliver transport and addressing functions.WAN UtilityWAN are used to connect LAN and other types of networks together, so that users and computers in one location can communicate with users and computers in other locations. Many WAN are built for one particular organization and are private. Others, built by Internet service providers, provide connectionsfrom an organizations LAN to the Internet.We are amongst the leaders in providing extensive experience in the design, installation and maintenance of network systems like WAN. Our qualified team of engineers support your software needs, whether it be on a users workstation or your companys file server.
