Answers


Faith
1. Wireless LAN
Wireless LAN (WLAN) technology provides internet access within a building or a limited outdoor area.
2. Wireless MAN
Wireless metropolitan area networks have been installed in cities worldwide to provide access for people outside an office or home network. These networks cover a wider area than office or home networks, but the principles are the same.
3. Wireless PAN
Wireless personal area networks cover a very limited area - typically a maximum of 100 meters for most applications - using protocols like Bluetooth and Zigbee.
4. Wireless WAN
Wireless WANs use cellular technology to provide access outside the range of a wireless LAN or metropolitan network. These networks enable users to make phone calls to others connecting either through a wireless WAN or a wired telephone system. Users can also connect to the internet to access websites or server-based applications.
