LAN

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a collection of computers and devices connected within a limited area, like an office or home, enabling them to share resources such as files, printers, and internet connections. It allows devices to communicate quickly and efficiently over short distances, typically through wired Ethernet cables or wireless Wi-Fi. LANs improve collaboration and productivity by facilitating easy data exchange and device sharing among connected equipment. They are commonly used in workplaces, schools, and homes to create a private, high-speed network tailored to specific needs.
