Wide area network
and Instant
Communications

Wide area networks (WAN) drive instant communications in our digital age. This is how our modern communication is sustained, from multinational businesses to the Internet itself.

In today’s business world, fast and immediate communication is key to success. The ability to collaborate and share information in real-time across geographical boundaries can make all the difference in business development. This is where Wide Area Networks (WANs) play a critical role.

The importance of a good WAN connection has become increasingly apparent in recent years as businesses look to expand and grow globally. With a robust and reliable WAN, companies can connect their branch and remote offices in different geographic locations efficiently. 

What is WAN (Wide area network)?

A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a telecommunications or computer network that extends over a large geographical area. This could span a state, a country, or even the whole world. WANs are primarily used to connect local area networks (LANs) and other types of networks together so that users and computers in one location can communicate with users and computers in other locations. 

Common examples of WANs include business networks of a multinational organization or the internet itself, which is the most extensive WAN in existence. One of the primary benefits of using a WAN is its ability to connect users across large distances, thereby facilitating wide area communications. This allows businesses to operate on a global scale.

How Wide Area Network Works

A Wide Area Network (WAN) operates by utilizing various devices and technologies, including routers, switches, modems, and dedicated leased lines to build a robust and efficient network.

The hardware components of a WAN infrastructure are interconnected to enable data transmission across long distances. Data sent over a WAN is typically encrypted to ensure secure transmission. This data is split into packets, which are sent through the network using a method known as packet switchingThe packets travel across the network via the most efficient route possible, hopping from one router to the next until they reach their destination. At the receiving end, these packets are reassembled in the correct order to form the original data. This process ensures reliable wide area communications.

Instant Communications for Companies

Instant communication is crucial for businesses because it facilitates efficient collaboration, rapid decision-making, and timely response to emergencies. The types of businesses that require instant communication include but are not limited to, logistics, transportation, hotels, utilities, factories, and airports. These sectors often handle critical situations where every second counts.

Instant communication is essential, especially when it comes to transportation, and ensuring that the connection is maintained while carriers do their job is the connectivity challenge.
