Metro Area Network (MAN)
A Metro Area Network (MAN) is a high-speed network that connects computers and devices within a city or a nearby region, larger than a local network but smaller than a wide-area network. It enables institutions like businesses, government agencies, and service providers to share data, resources, and communication efficiently over a metropolitan area. MANs often use fiber optics or wireless technology, providing reliable and fast connectivity to facilitate operations, data transfer, and internet access across the city or region.
