Benefits of LAN
LAN is local, meaning you can only connect devices that share a geographical location. It is possible to connect multiple premises to the same LAN, provided they are close in proximity. This is possible by connecting the locations with a fibre ethernet line. For greater distances, where LAN is not suitable, businesses would benefit from a wide area network (WAN).
Cost-Effective
The local nature of LAN means that the cost is kept to a minimum.
Flexibility
LANs are flexible meaning you can easily add and remove devices such as computers and printers.
Speed
LANs can reach speeds of up to 1Gbps which offers superfast download and upload speeds for file sharing, video conferencing and more.
