adathálózat

Adathálózat is a Hungarian term that translates to "data network" in English. It refers to a system of interconnected devices, such as computers, servers, and mobile phones, that can exchange data. These networks can vary in size and complexity, from small home networks to large-scale corporate or global networks.

The primary purpose of an adathálózat is to facilitate communication and the sharing of resources. This includes transmitting information, accessing shared files and applications, and enabling various forms of digital communication like email and instant messaging. Adathálózatok are the backbone of modern information technology, underpinning activities such as internet browsing, cloud computing, and the operation of many businesses and services.

Different types of adathálózatok exist, categorized by their geographical scope. Local Area Networks (LAN) cover a small area like a home or office building, while Wide Area Networks (WAN) span larger regions or even the entire globe, with the internet being the most prominent example. Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) fall in between, covering a city or metropolitan area. The infrastructure for these networks can include physical cabling like Ethernet, and wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi. Security and management are crucial aspects of operating any adathálózat to ensure data integrity and prevent unauthorized access.
