Detailed explanation-1: -A network that consist of both LANs and MANs are called Wide area network. True.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Wide Area Network (WAN) is designed to connect devices over large distances like states or between countries. The connection is wireless in most cases and uses radio towers for communication. The WAN network can be made up of multiple LAN and MAN networks.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are many different forms of area networks, but one of the most common networks outside of WANs is the local area network, or LAN. Whereas WANs can exist globally, without ties to a physical location through the use of a leased network provider, LANs exist within a limited area.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: Answer:A system of LANs connected in this way is called a wide-area network (WAN). The difference between a LAN and WAN is that the wide-area network spans a relatively large geographical area. Typically, a WAN consists of two or more local-area networks (LANs) and are often connected through public networks.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Internet is a large WAN that is composed of millions of interconnected LANs. WAN technology is also used to connect corporate or research networks. Telecommunications service providers are used to interconnect these LANs at different locations.
