Networking Concepts and Technologies

The video tutorial explains different types of networks, including LAN, WAN, PAN, MAN, SAN, and WLAN. It covers their characteristics, technologies, and common uses. LANs are local networks with high bandwidth, while WANs cover larger distances with slower speeds. PANs connect personal devices, MANs link sites within a city, SANs provide centralized storage, and WLANs offer wireless connectivity within buildings.
