Question

Please Help. Which of the following statements about wide area networks are true? Select 3 options.

A. typically uses Eethernet and wireless routers to connect devices

B. connects devices in a large geographic area

C. is usually managed by a single business

D. may be controlled by multiple entities

E. connections usually occur through a public network

Answer 1

B, D, E

Step-by-step explanation:

The public Internet is largest WAN in the world.

A LAN (Local Area Network) typically uses Ethernet and Wireless Routers to connect devices.

A single business would not usually manage a WAN because this would create a monopoly, which is why competition is intentionally created between Internet Service Providers (ISPs), though sometimes a single business could manage a WAN via MPLS, etc.

Answer 2

- connects devices in a large geographic area

- may be controlled by multiple entities

- connections usually occur through a public network

Step-by-step explanation:

A wide area network (WAN) connects devices across a broader area like a city. It can provide connections across multiple countries. A wide area network may be managed and controlled by multiple entities. LANs connect to WANs to create a network of networks. The internet is considered the largest WAN.
