Answer:

Wide area network (WAN)

A WAN differs from a LAN because it is not restricted by geographic location. As opposed to a LAN which connects local devices to each other, a WAN connects LANs to each other, usually across multiple locations as well as individual devices that connect from a remote distance.

Answer:

Local area network (LAN)

A LAN is a group of computers and other network devices connected together within the same geographic location. LANs typically operate within the same building or the same floor of an office building.

A WAN may be limited to an enterprise (a corporation or an organization) or accessible to the public. The internet is an example of a worldwide public WAN.
