Tipe Jaringan Komputer (PAN, LAN, WLAN, CAN, MAN, WAN) | Administrasi Infrastruktur Jaringan (AIJ)

Summary

In this video, Irham Toro explores various types of computer networks, explaining how they differ based on the area they cover and their scale. The video covers Personal Area Networks (PAN), Local Area Networks (LAN), Wireless LAN, Campus Area Networks (CAN), Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN), and Wide Area Networks (WAN). Each type is explained in detail, with examples of their uses in everyday life, such as NFC technology for file transfers or the use of fiber optics in MAN. The video concludes with an overview of the largest network, the internet, which connects countries and continents.

Takeaways

• 😀 A Personal Area Network (PAN) is a small, private network used for transferring files like photos and music between personal devices such as phones and laptops.
• 😀 PANs typically use USB cables or wireless technologies like Bluetooth, Infrared, or NFC for communication between devices.
• 😀 NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range wireless technology, used for transferring data by simply bringing two devices close together. It's applied in e-toll cards, bank cards, and even transit cards in cities like Jakarta.
• 😀 A Local Area Network (LAN) connects devices within a small geographical area, like a single building or floor. It typically includes computers, printers, and servers, all connected via switches.
• 😀 The most common form of LAN is Ethernet LAN, where devices are connected using network interface cards (NICs) and Ethernet cables.
• 😀 A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is similar to LAN but uses wireless technology like WiFi instead of physical cables.
• 😀 A Campus Area Network (CAN) connects multiple LANs within a larger, specific area, like a university campus, where different faculties' networks are interconnected.
• 😀 CANs can also be applied in business environments where multiple office buildings or company divisions are connected through a network.
• 😀 A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) covers a broader area than a CAN, like a city, and connects several LANs using technologies such as fiber optics.
• 😀 A Wide Area Network (WAN) is the largest type of network, covering vast geographical areas such as countries or continents, and is composed of various LANs, CANs, and MANs. The Internet is a prime example of a WAN.

Q & A

What is a Personal Area Network (PAN) and how is it typically used?

A Personal Area Network (PAN) is a small network used for transferring files, such as photos, music, or calendar schedules, between personal devices like phones and laptops. It can operate using USB cables or wireless technologies like Bluetooth, Infrared, or NFC (Near Field Communication).

What technologies are commonly used in Personal Area Networks?

Personal Area Networks commonly use USB cables or wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, Infrared, and NFC for data transfer between devices.

What is NFC and how does it work?

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology that allows two devices to communicate when brought into close proximity. It is commonly used for applications like contactless payments, such as in e-toll cards or bank cards like BCA and Mandiri e-money.

What is a Local Area Network (LAN) and where is it typically used?

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network that connects devices such as computers, printers, and servers within a small geographic area, usually within a single building. It is often used in offices, schools, or homes for sharing resources and data.

What are some common types of Local Area Networks?

The most common type of Local Area Network is Ethernet LAN, which uses Ethernet cables and network interface cards (NICs) to connect devices within the network.

How does a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) differ from a regular LAN?

A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) functions similarly to a traditional LAN but uses wireless technology like Wi-Fi for communication instead of cables, providing more flexibility for connecting devices.

What is a Campus Area Network (CAN), and where is it commonly applied?

A Campus Area Network (CAN) connects multiple LANs within a specific, localized area, such as a university campus or an office complex with several buildings. It allows communication between different departments or teams within the area.

What is the main difference between a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) and a Local Area Network (LAN)?

A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is larger than a Local Area Network (LAN) and typically covers a city or metropolitan area, connecting multiple LANs. It often uses fiber optic cables to ensure fast communication across buildings or locations within the city.

What is a Wide Area Network (WAN), and what is its primary function?

A Wide Area Network (WAN) is the largest type of network, spanning across vast geographic areas such as countries or continents. It connects multiple LANs and MANs, and the internet is a prime example of a WAN, facilitating global communication and data exchange.

How are different types of networks categorized based on geographical scope?

Networks are categorized into different types based on their geographical coverage: PAN (smallest, personal area), LAN (local area), WLAN (wireless LAN), CAN (campus area), MAN (metropolitan area), and WAN (wide area, the largest, covering continents or the entire world).
