Why each option
A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel over a public network, giving a remote manager secure access to the main office network as if physically present.
WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Network) provides cellular internet connectivity but does not by itself grant access to or secure the internal office network.
LAN (Local Area Network) is the internal office network itself; a remote manager cannot connect to a LAN without an intermediary such as a VPN.
MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) connects sites within a city using leased lines and is an infrastructure type, not a remote-access solution for individuals.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) authenticates the remote user and encrypts all traffic between their device and the office network, providing secure and persistent remote access to internal resources. It is the standard solution for employees needing full, on-demand connectivity to a private corporate network from any location.
