Definition WAN (Wide Area Network)

Wide Area Network is a computer network covering a large area as an example of a computer network between regions, cities or even countries, or can be defined as well as computer networks require routers and public communication channels.WANs are used to connect a local network with other local networks, so users or computers in one location can communicate with users and computers in other locations.

WAN (Wide Area Network) is a collection of LANs and / or Workgroup connected using modem communication tools and Internet networks, from / to the headquarters and branch offices, and between branch offices. With this network system, the exchange of data between offices can be done quickly and with relatively low cost. This network system can use an existing Internet network, to connect between
headquarters and branch offices Stand Alone or with your PC / notebook that was in another city or country.




Wireless WAN dial-in two locations at speeds from 1.6 to 10 Mbps, utilizing the RF spectrum width, when the public network is not available or too expensive. WAN wireless system is a system of point-to-point network connecting cities across public infrastructure to replace or provide an alternative to the private connection.

Development of Internet network and a spectacular huge impact on the company in various types and sizes. The new wireless technologies increasingly facilitate the development of networking capabilities, Internet, and intranets for mobile workers, remote sites and temporary facilities.Wireless Networking has further expanded its reach and capabilities of computer networks. New technologies make wireless networking as a way that enables high-speed access service and reliable for jaringanjaringan computers and the Internet.There are two basic methods of wireless networking that is light (laser and infrared) and radio. Both have different specifications and uses.
