+A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a telecommunications network that extends over a large geographical area for the purpose of computer networking. WANs are used to connect smaller networks, such as local area networks (LANs) and metro area networks (MANs), enabling businesses, governments, and individuals to transmit data across vast distances. They are essential for global internet connectivity, linking users and data centers worldwide.
