What is a local area network?

A local area network is a data communications network limited by area, which is primarily owned, managed and used by a single organisation. The limitation by area can be a specific floor of an office building, the whole office building or even an entire campus area. Both wired and wireless models are used for local area networks. The local area network is the point where terminal devices can connect to an organisation’s other data communications infrastructure, to which it typically connects through a teleoperator’s wide area network.

What do LAN and WLAN mean?

LAN stands for “local area network” and WLAN for “wireless local area network”. A LAN is a fixed local area network that uses Ethernet technology. Users can connect to it through a local area network switch with a copper cable connection. A WLAN is a wireless local area network that uses Wi-Fi technology. Users can connect to it through a WLAN access point with a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency range.
