Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) connects multiple local area networks (LANs) within a specific geographic area, such as a city or large campus, facilitating fast and reliable communication. Utilizing high-speed connections like fiber optics or microwave links, MANs support various applications, including voice, video, and data services. For businesses, they enhance collaboration among offices, improve resource sharing, and provide centralized access to applications and databases. With high bandwidth capabilities, MANs offer a cost-effective solution for data-intensive operations, enabling companies to optimize their communication infrastructure and boost overall operational efficiency.
