WAN Technologies

WAN (Wide Area Network) technologies connect computers and networks over large geographical areas, such as cities or countries. They enable organizations to share data and communicate across long distances. Common WAN technologies include Fiber Optic, which uses thin glass cables to transmit data quickly; MPLS, a technology that directs data along efficient paths; and VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), which securely connect remote users to a main network over the internet. These technologies ensure reliable, secure, and high-speed communication between dispersed locations, supporting global business operations and access to cloud services.
