Masters of Health Informatics2Answer to question no-1: WANWide Area network is a large network which connects various local area networks. High speed of data transmission take place via WAN, speed of transmission is dependent on the cost of connection and distance between the routers. There is no single entity that is managing wide area network. Hence, it is maintained by distributed ownership. It is used in health care system, educational system or banking system. Like in health care system, different branches are remotely connected to each other over a network, so that the official data can be accessed by doctors or patients from anywhere on the internet. WAN allows the users to share the resources remotely instead of downloading the resources separately (Jiang, Fang & Chion, 2011).Some WAN networks that are available are:Circuit and Packet Switching – Circuit switching is mostly used for supporting synchronous connection between end points of dialup connections. Bit delay is constant in circuit switching network and offers no overhead thus, can be used for optical mesh network or cellular network for continuous data transfer. Packet Switching is used for transferring the data at high speed by dividing the data in smaller data units.ATM- It is used for Asynchronous data transfer and provides the functionality of both circuit switching and packet switching. Before actually exchanging the data packets ATM establishes the virtual circuit. It is globally available and provides high security by using VPN (Virtual private network) technology.Integrated Services Digital Network(ISDN)- It is used for synchronous data transfer, it is used for video conferencing for transmitting digital signals over network. ISDN is used to integrate data on the same lines by providing additional.
