A large company has three offices located in different parts of the same city, and have created a network connecting the three offices. What network type best defines this setup?
  1. LAN
  2. PAN
  3. WAN
  4. MAN
Explanation
Answer: D - A MAN, or Municipal Area Network, best defines the network of a company that has three offices connected in one city.

Key Takeaway - A Municipal Area Network (MAN) is similar to a Wide-Area Network (WAN) since it is generally made up of several Local-Area Networks (LANs), however it is generally not as geographically vast. MANs are most often employed by a company that contains several offices, connected within the same municipal area (i.e. city).
