 The Computer Network

One of the greatest advancement in technology and communication over the past 20 years has been the

• GAN (GLOBAL AREA NETWOK)

CLASSIFICATION OF COMPUTER NETWORKS BY SIZE 5

Personal Area Network (PAN)

• Very small scale network

• Range is less than 2 meters
• Cell phones, PDAs, MP3 players

6
Local Area Network (LAN)
• Contains printers, servers and computers
• Systems are close to each other
• Contained in one office or building
• Organizations often have several LANS

7
Campus Area Networks
(CAN)
• A LAN in one large geographic area

• Resources related to the same organization

• Each department shares the LAN

8

10
 • Large number of LANs connected
• All over a the world
Global Area Networks (GAN) • Typically use public or leased lines
• Phone lines
• Satellite
• The Internet is a GAN

11
Wireless Network

• Data transmitted through the air

• LANs use radio waves
• WANs use microwave signals
• Easy to setup
• Difficult to secure 12
