This document defines and provides examples of wireless networks and their components. It explains that wireless networks transmit data via radio waves instead of cables, using access points to transmit and receive signals between client devices and the internet. It also describes different types of wireless connections including personal area networks (PAN), campus area networks (CAN), local area networks (LAN), metropolitan area networks (MAN), and wide area networks (WAN), detailing their scope, composition, purpose and examples of each.

WIRELESS NETWORK
What Is A Wireless Network?
 Definition of Wireless Network: A network that provides
access to the Internet by transmitting over the air. Wireless
networks are widely adopted in various settings including
homes, businesses, and telecommunications networks.
 Examples of wireless Internet: Wi-Fi hotspots within the
home, company or public venue, as well as 3G/4G cellular
data service from the telephone carriers. In rural areas,
satellites also provide wireless Internet service.
How does Wireless Network Work?
 Signal Transmission: Wireless networks send data through radio waves instead
of cables.
 Access Points: Devices called access points transmit and receive signals, acting
like hubs.
 Client Devices: Phones, laptops, etc., connect to access points to access the
network.
 Data Transfer: Information travels between client devices and access points
wirelessly.
 Internet Connection: Access points connect to the internet, allowing devices
to access online services.
 Mobility: Users can move around within the network's coverage area while
staying connected.
Component of wireless Network
 Clients:
• Clients are computers/devices that request and
receive information over a network.
• Devices used by end-users, including phones,
tablets, laptops, desktops, etc.
 Access Point (AP):
• Most wireless networks are made using Access
Points - devices that host and control the
wireless connection for laptops, tablets,
or smart phones.
Types of Wireless Connection:
• PAN (Personal Area Network)
• CAN (Campus Area Network)
• LAN (Local Area Network)
• MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
• WAN (Wide Area Network)
PAN:
 A Personal Area Network (PAN) is a
computer network for
communication among devices
close to one person.
 Range typically less than 10 meters
(about 30 feet).
 Devices include computers,
phones, PDAs, printers, and
scanners.
 Wired PANs use USB or FireWire.
 Wireless PANs (WPAN) use
technologies like IrDA (Infrared
wireless communication
Technology developed by Infrared
Data Association) and Bluetooth.
CAN:
Definition of Campus Area Network
(CAN):
 Connects buildings across college or
university campuses.
Geographical Scope:
 Limited to specific and contiguous
areas like college campuses,
industrial complexes, or military
bases.
Composition:
 Network of interconnected LANs
within a defined geographical area.
Purpose:
 Facilitates communication and data
sharing between multiple LANs
within the defined area.
LAN:
 Definition: LAN stands for Local Area
Network. LAN
 Scope: Covers a small geographical area like
a single building or campus.
 Devices: Connects computers, printers,
servers, and other devices.
 Speed: Offers high-speed data transfer
within the network.
 Ownership: Can be privately owned or
operated by a business or organization.
 Connectivity: Typically uses Ethernet cables
or Wi-Fi for connections.
 Shared Resources: Enables sharing of files,
printers, and internet access among
connected devices.
 Security: Often includes security measures
like firewalls and encryption to protect data.
MAN:
 Definition: A Metropolitan Area Network
(MAN) connects multiple LANs within a
metropolitan area.
 Scope: Covers a larger geographical area than
LAN but smaller than WAN.
 Examples: Often used by businesses or
organizations spanning multiple buildings
within a city.
 Connectivity: MAN facilitates communication
between various LANs and can extend over
several kilo meters.
 Speed and Reliability: Offers faster data
transfer rates and higher reliability compared
to WANs due to its smaller scale.
 Applications: Supports applications like video
conferencing, internet access, and resource
sharing within a city or town.
WAN:
 Definition: Wide Area Network (WAN) is a
network that spans a large geographical area.
 Scope: Covers vast distances, potentially
spanning across cities, countries, or even
continents.
 Connectivity: Links multiple Local Area
Networks (LANs) or other networks together.
 Applications: Enables communication between
remote offices, branches, or users over long
distances.
 Examples: Internet is the largest WAN,
connecting millions of devices worldwide.
 Managed by Service Providers: Often operated
and maintained by telecommunications
companies or Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
