Local area networks (commonly abbreviated as local area network LAN) is a computer network whose network covers only a small area, such as campus computer networks, buildings, offices, in homes, schools or smaller. Today, most LAN based on IEEE 802.3 Ethernet technology using the switch, which has a data transfer rate 10, 100, or 1000 Mbit / s. In addition to Ethernet technology, the current 802.11b technology (or so-called Wi-Fi) is also often used to form a LAN. Places that provide LAN connectivity with Wi-fi technology called hotspots.
On a LAN, each node or computer has the computing power itself, in contrast to the concept of terminal dump. Each computer can access resources on the LAN in accordance with the permissions that have been set. Resources can be data or a device like a printer. On a LAN, a user can also communicate with other users by using the appropriate application.
In contrast to Wide Area Networks or Wide Area Network (WAN), the LAN has the following characteristics:
1. Has a higher data rapidly
2. Covers a narrower geographical region
3. Does not require telecommunications lines leased from telecom operators
Usually one of the computers on the network computer that will use a server to manage all systems in the network.
