Question

which of the following are advantages of a wide area network, as opposed to a local area network? select two options

Answer 1

Answer:

Advantages of Wide Area Network as opposed to the Local Area Network:

Because of wide area network (WANs) connections are available from house to house, city to city, country to country. For ex: Internet.

WAN is connecting the devices with various wireless technologies such as: cell phone towers or satellites. All these are much harder to setup with LANs.

Local Area Network (LANs) connections can only operate in a local area, not bigger than a house or a floor in a office building and also you cannot buy a ethernet cable that can reach throughout entire building and Wi-Fi connection rapidly disconnected as you get further then few meters away.

Answer 2

Answer:

- provides access to other networks

- greater geographic reach

Explanation:

Wide area networks cover larger areas like a city, country, or multiple countries. They're managed by large groups or companies. Connections are typically made using routers and public networks such as phone, cable, or satellite systems. Ninety-nine percent of internet traffic is transmitted through cables. The remaining one percent is transmitted via satellite.
