territory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Multiple local area networks are connected to form MANs, which are larger than LANs, but smaller than wide-area networks (WANs), which can cover vast geographical expanses and connect users around the world directly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Communication through a MAN is generally fast and can be provided with high-speed carriers, such as fiber optic cables. As wireless phones and subsequent networks get introduced, a broader variety of means for transmitting signals is becoming available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">A metropolitan area network (MAN) usually covers an entire city center or campus in computer networking. It connects LANs using high-speed backbone technologies, such as fiber optics and provides up-link services to the wide-area network (WAN) and the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Data transfers are moderate in speed and propagation delays are moderate as well in metropolitan area networks (MANs). MANs have less fault tolerance and more congestion in their networks. MANs are costly and may or may not be owned by one organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">This MAN provides coverage of between 10 to 50 km using a wide network, making it ideal for building a connection between offices in a single city, factories\/agencies, and the corporate headquarters within its ability to reach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">MANs transmit data using different devices, such as modems and wires\/cables. Examples of MANs are the telephone company&#8217;s high-speed <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Digital_subscriber_line\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DSL network<\/a> or the cable company&#8217;s local network.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Characteristics_of_MAN_network\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Characteristics of MAN network<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">There are many and varied applications of the Metropolitan Area Network (MAN); the main uses of man network are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In metropolitan areas, deployment of VoIP services (Voice over Internet Protocol) will eliminate the &#8220;obsolete&#8221; lines of analog telephony or ISDN, thus eliminating the current expenditure on these lines.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">It is an interconnection of the local area network (LAN).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">With the deployment of Wi-Fi zones without a wireless backhaul (Femtocell) all Wi-Fi channels can be accessed, which in practice means a 60 percent increase in the connection of Wi-Fi users.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Easier computer to computer interconnection.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Systems for local video surveillance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">CAD \/ CAM transmission.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Walkways for wide area networks (WAN).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In general, networks range in size from 5-50 km.
