Question

Which type of network is designed to facilitate communications between users and applications over large distances? (For example: between the various corporate offices of an international organization that are located in cities all over the world.)

Answer 1

Wide area network (WAN)

Step-by-step explanation:

The WAN network is a type of network that covers distances of about 100 to about 1,000 kilometers, allowing to provide connectivity to several cities or even an entire country. WAN networks can be developed by a company or an organization for private use, or even by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to provide connectivity to all its customers. Generally, the WAN network operates point to point, so it can be defined as a switched packet network. These networks, on the other hand, can use radio or satellite communication systems.
