1. Exploring Specialized Network Types Let's move beyond Local Area Networks. Explore specialized computer networks tailored for specific needs. This presentation covers wireless, storage, system, optical, enterprise, virtual, home, and campus networks. by Kyla Joy Sebuc

2. Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) Seamless Connectivity WLANs provide freedom. They connect devices without physical cables. Wi-Fi Technology WLANs use Wi-Fi. They enable wireless access points. Mobility Users can move. They stay connected within the WLAN range.

3. Storage Area Networks (SANs) Dedicated Storage SANs provide dedicated, high-speed access. They are used for block-level storage. Data Management SANs centralize storage. This simplifies data management. Performance Optimized for fast data transfer. They are good for critical applications.

4. System Area Networks (SANs) 1 High-Performance System Area Networks are for high-performance computing. 2 Low Latency SANs offer low latency. They are good for parallel processing. 3 Clusters Interconnect clusters. They improve performance for simulations.

5. Passive Optical LAN (POLAN) Cost-Effective Future-Proof Efficient POLAN uses fiber optics. It lowers costs. It's scalable. It offers a green alternative to traditional LANs.

6. Enterprise Private Networks (EPNs) Secure 1 Private 2 Internal 3 EPNs offer secure, private networks. They are used for internal communications. They are ideal for enterprises.

7. Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) 1 Remote Access 2 Secure Tunnel 3 Encryption VPNs extend networks securely. They encrypt data. Remote users access resources safely.

8. Home Area Networks (HANs) Connected Devices Connect smart devices at home. IoT Integrate the Internet of Things. Automation Enable home automation features.

9. Campus Area Networks (CANs) Educational Institutions Connect buildings on a campus. Resource Sharing Share resources across the campus. Wide Coverage Provide wide network coverage.

10. Choosing the Right Network Consider your needs. Select the right network type. WLAN is for wireless access. SAN is for storage. EPN ensures private communications. VPN enables secure remote access. HAN connects homes. Evaluate cost. Evaluate performance. Assess security requirements. This ensures optimal network selection.
