What is WAN (Wide Area Network)?

What is WAN (Wide Area Network)? A wide area network, WAN, is a network established for the communication of more than one device in a wide area. It covers a much larger area and often a lot more devices than a LAN connection.  The most popular of this network, which covers cities and even countries, is the Internet. In general, most WANs are connected to the Internet. However, in some special cases, private WAN can be used. We can think of WAN connections as a combination of LAN connections. Local links join together to form larger-scale connections. However, when making this combination, connections such as link antennas, gateways, satellite connections are required. As with other network types, the most basic usage purposes are data sharing. To be more precise, it is to facilitate and speed up data sharing Otherwise, data transfer was provided before these network systems. Data transferred with different external devices can now be transferred with the help of a single button. One of the disadvantages of the Wide Area Network is that it is usually a little slower than the Local Area Network. The most important reason for this is the high number of users. In the Local Area Connection (LAN), there is a more limited number of users and naturally a more limited operation. However, the same is not the case for WANs that are installed in a very large area. The more users and transactions are made, the more the system slows down. There are various solutions to these slowdowns. You can increase the user capacity of the network by increasing the bandwidth. However, it is difficult to reach any LAN connection speed.
