Local Area Networks (LANs)

When the need to connect computers for file sharing or printer sharing first arose, the number of users and physical space between them was limited. For example, in the early 1980s the most popular cabling method, a local area network, or LAN, allowed approximately 30 users on a maximum cable length of just over 600 feet. LANs are still effective for smaller environments such as a single floor of an office building or small companies, but larger companies require expanded network access to accommodate multiple offices in various locations.
