A local area network, or LAN, is a geographically limited network intended for the local transport of voice, data, and video. Often referred to as an enterprise network, a LAN is just one of many types of area networks. It can be a small in-building network designed to connect IP devices, or a large network connecting multiple sites or buildings in a medical or university campus.

Which LAN design are you considering?

• Software defined local area network (SD-LAN)
• Outside fiber-optic cable design
• Distributed sensing cable in industrial environments
• Distance, wattage considerations drive power decisions
• Network infrastructure: Now the fourth utility
