05 The wide area network (WAN)

  • Covers vast areas — cities and continents — using communication lines, satellites and submarine fibre-optic cables.
  • Costlier and harder to manage than a LAN, and generally lower in local transfer speed because of the long links and the intermediate equipment.
  • The Internet is the largest WAN; a bank linking its branches abroad runs a private WAN.
  • Comparison table for revision: coverage (small / vast), speed (very high / depends on the carrier), management (one administration / several providers), cost (low / high), example (school lab / the Internet).
