a means by which to streamline their operations, such significant growth has necessitated the use of LAN in order for the multitude of computers to become interlinked. Unquestionably, it
is entirely feasible for a group, company or organization to employ the use of more than one LAN that allows for networking between and among a vast array of local
systems (Anonymous, 2001). When proximity becomes an issue, a Wide Area Network (WAN) is put to use, "which spans geographical areas over public or private communication links" (Anonymous, 2001).
Employment of this particular network is typically reserved as a means by which to conjoin all the facets of a group or companys system: data, video, voice, as well as
other computer business systems already incorporating a LAN. The primary purpose of a WAN is to connect all applicable communication components in such a manner that the LAN cannot,
particularly when it comes to "areas that are regulated by local, national or international authorities" (Anonymous, 2001). ? No more running from computer to computer ? No more
wondering if an application or file is installed on all computers ? No more wasted time II. COST & QUANTITY
As with any computer networking applications, there exist numerous industry standards as a means by which to offer overall product cohesiveness. With LAN and WAN, the cost and quantity
involved in implementing these networks cannot be considered inexpensive or low in volume in order to properly activate the systems; however, the money spent as a means by which to
technologically upgrade an organizations system is considered a sound investment. Myriad groups, businesses and organizations across the globe are taking full advantage of the myriad opportunities provided by LAN
