Explanation
A LAN (Local Area Network) is a network confined to a small geographic area such as a single room, floor, or building. A single office with a handful of computers and a server is the textbook definition of a LAN. A PAN (Personal Area Network) is an even smaller network centered around one individual, typically using Bluetooth or USB (e.g., connecting a phone to a laptop). A WAN (Wide Area Network) spans large geographic distances and connects multiple LANs, such as the Internet. A SAN (Storage Area Network) is a specialized high-speed network dedicated to connecting servers to shared block-level storage devices, not a general office network.
