You don't "find" a WAN in the same way you might find a physical object. A WAN is a concept and a system. Here's how to understand it:
* WANs are built: They are created by connecting multiple smaller networks (like local area networks or LANs) over long distances. These connections can be made through various technologies, including:
* Fiber optic cables: Offering high speed and long distances
* Satellite links: Reaching remote locations
* Microwave links: Providing high bandwidth over shorter distances
* Cellular networks: Using mobile phone technology
* WANs are used by: Businesses, organizations, and even individuals to connect computers, devices, and resources across large geographical areas.
* Examples of WANs: The internet is the largest WAN in the world, connecting millions of users and devices across the globe.
So, you wouldn't "find" a WAN in a store or on a map. Instead, you would access and use a WAN through a network connection provided by your internet service provider or through a private network built by your organization.
