WANühenduste

WANühenduste refers to Wide Area Network connections. These are telecommunications links that cover a broad geographic area, typically connecting multiple local area networks (LANs) across cities, states, or even countries. Unlike LANs which operate within a limited area like an office building, WANs are designed for long-distance data transmission.

The primary purpose of WANühenduste is to enable communication and resource sharing between geographically dispersed locations. Businesses often use WANs to connect their branch offices to a central headquarters, allowing for seamless data exchange, shared access to applications, and centralized management. Internet service providers (ISPs) also utilize WAN technology to create the global network of interconnected computers that we know as the internet.

Various technologies are employed for WANühenduste, including leased lines, MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), and cellular networks. The choice of technology depends on factors such as bandwidth requirements, security needs, cost, and the distance to be covered. Leased lines offer dedicated, high-speed connections but can be expensive. MPLS provides a more cost-effective and flexible solution for enterprises. VPNs are commonly used to create secure, encrypted tunnels over public networks, extending private network access to remote users or sites. Cellular networks, like 4G and 5G, are increasingly used for mobile WAN connectivity, offering flexibility and broad coverage. The reliability and performance of WANühenduste are critical for many organizations' operations and the functioning of the internet.
