Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

What is Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)?
A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is a computer network that connects computers and other devices within a geographical area larger than a local area network (LAN) but smaller than a wide area network (WAN). It's essentially a scaled-up version of a LAN, designed to serve a city or metropolitan area. MANs are often used to connect multiple LANs together, allowing devices in different locations to communicate with each other.
