The geographical area
covered by LAN is small, whereas, MAN covers
relatively large and WAN covers the
greatest of all. LAN is confined
to schools, hospitals or buildings, whereas, MAN connects small towns or Cities and on the other hand, WAN covers Country or a group of Countries.
The Network allows computers to connect
and communicate with different computers via any medium. LAN, MAN, and WAN are
the three types of the network designed to operate over the area they cover.
One of the significant
differences is in the geographical area they cover, i.e. LAN covers the
smallest area; MAN covers an area larger than LAN and WAN comprises the largest
of all.
Furthermore, LAN networks
rely on the hardware and communication devices owned by them for the
transmission. As against, this could not be possible in case of MAN and WAN
which are obliged to use public, private, leased communication hardware as
these networks are spanned across a magnificent area Lan Wan Man.
