What is a LAN?

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of connected computers, servers, and devices that share resources within a limited area—typically within the same building, office, or campus. LANs enable fast, secure communication between users and systems, making them the foundation of modern business infrastructure.

Why LANs Matter

• Speed: LANs provide high-speed connections between devices using Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
• Security: Internal networks reduce exposure to external threats when properly configured.
• Efficiency: File sharing, printers, and centralized applications are available across the network.
