smaller than WAN.
• It consist on two or more LAN in a city.
• This type of network is used for connecting a network in many town in the large
network.
• It cover the 5 to 50 kilometers area. MAN use routers and switches for exchanging
information.
• The speed of MAN of data transferring is 5Mbps(megabites per second) to
10Mbps
• Example:Modem and wire/cable
• PAN:
• Pan stand for personal area network. It is used for communication in small
area.
• We can communicate by connecting two or more computers or mobile or other
device to each other.
• The range of pan is about 10 meter
• Example:A connection between bluetooth earpiece and smartphone.
