  What is a Computer Network? A computer network is an interconnected system of devices, represented as network nodes, that share information, data, and resources with each other. Depending on the network type, devices can be as simple as computers or smartphones connecting to a network. More extensive networks use devices like routers and switch to create the underlying network infrastructure There are several types of networks, each existing to support the devices, size, and location of the system. Networks also have differing levels of access and forms of connectivity. Here are the most common types of networks: Personal area network A personal area network (PAN) is the smallest and simplest type of network. PANs connect devices within the range of an individual and are no larger than about 10 meters (m). Because PANs operate in such limited areas of space, most are wireless and provide short-range connectivity with infrared technology. Local area network A local area network (L...
