LAN (Local Area Network)

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a collection of interconnected computers and devices within a limited area, such as an office, school, or home. It allows these devices to share resources like files, printers, and internet connections efficiently. LANs typically use wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi) technology to communicate quickly and securely over short distances. This setup improves collaboration and resource management, making it easier for users to access shared tools and information within the same location.
