one or more computers, printers, phones, and other personal devices via a modem
in wired or wireless mode.
It is used for sharing documents and photos in nodes,
internet access and entertainment.

2. Local area network (LAN)
LAN connects computers and other equipment in rooms or
buildings and allows local users to share information through file servers,
print documents through centralized printers, perform transactions through
central servers, and securely through a firewall router.
Computers and devices are connected through nodes, switches,
network interfaces, cables, and optical fibers. In a modern LAN, computers are
connected wirelessly via access points (antennas) and allow flexible seating
arrangements and freedom for millennials to work from anywhere in the office.
LAN provides a high-speed network, optimizes the use of
software licenses, and saves costs by connecting entire users over a single
Internet connection and efficiently sharing resources.
LANs can be logically divided into multiple virtual local
area networks (VLANs) and connected through a router. Each VLAN will have its
own characteristics, and access may be restricted to users via a VLAN.
