| Short
for Wide Area Network, WAN is a collection
of computers and network resources connected via a network over a geographic area.
Wide-Area Networks are commonly connected either through the Internet
or special arrangements made with phone companies or other service
providers. A WAN is different from a MAN because of the distance
between each of the networks. In a WAN, one network may be anywhere
from several hundred miles away, to across the globe in a different
country.
