Difference between WAN network and PAN network?
Answers
The significant difference between them is the geographical area they cover. When we consider the order, PAN is capable of providing network connection around a person, next comes LAN which covers a smaller area; then comes MAN; it covers an area larger than LAN & WAN is the largest of all.
A PAN may incorporate a number of different connections, including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. For example, a desktop computer may connect to a personal router via Ethernet and a tablet may connect via Wi-Fi. A smartphone may communicate with a computer via Wi-Fi and a smartwatch via Bluetooth.
A WAN wide area network is a telecommunications network that extends over a large geographical area for the primary purpose of computer networking. Wide area networks are often established with leased telecommunication circuits.
