Description Access Network

A Description Access Network (DAN) is a part of telecommunications infrastructure that connects end-users, like homes or businesses, to the broader network. It acts as the entry point where your devices link to providers’ systems, carrying voice, data, and internet signals. Think of it as the local "gateway" that ensures the information travels smoothly between your location and the larger network, enabling services such as internet browsing, phone calls, and streaming. It involves various technologies like fiber optics, copper lines, or wireless links, tailored to provide reliable and efficient connectivity tailored to the area’s needs.
