What is the best examples of MAN(metropolitan area network) ..?
A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) as the name indicates, is a network that links locations together from across disparate locations in a general geographic area. So named because the format generally invokes the image of a large city and/or its suburbs. A network of fire stations in a suburban area would be an example. This network could cross jurisdictions, so every fire station could be apprised of engine status in the entire area, should an emergency arise. So too, could a newspaper/media company employ a MAN. Branch offices in different counties could coordinate stories that appear in localized publications. A chain of community colleges could be linked by a MAN. A single campus might use a CAN (Campus Area Network), but the entire academic institution would use a MAN to track students’ progress across different classrooms and majors.
