A company is planning to connect its headquarters in one city to a branch office in a neighboring city, about 80 km apart. They want a dedicated, high-speed connection that they control, but they also want to minimize cost. Which type of network should they consider?

Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

A university has three buildings on one campus, each with its own wired network. The IT team wants to interconnect these buildings so that students can access shared resources with low latency, but they do not want to involve a service provider. Which type of network should they implement?

Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

A network architect is designing a network for a large enterprise with multiple buildings on a campus. They need to provide high-speed connectivity between buildings and also ensure that wireless access is available throughout each building. They are considering using a CAN for inter-building connectivity and WLANs for in-building access. What is a key characteristic of the CAN that makes it suitable for this purpose?

It is always less expensive than a WAN

It is owned and managed by the organization, allowing for control over performance and security

It uses only wireless connections

A user wants to connect their smartphone to their wireless headphones and smartwatch. They are not concerned about internet access. Which type of network are they using?
