What does LAN mean?
LAN stands for Local Area Network and is the IT industry term that describes a group of computers networked together in a “Local” environment.
These computers could be within an office premises and are connected either via LAN (ethernet) cable or more recently via WLAN (WiFi). However, thanks to Virtual Private Networks (VPN), the connected computers and network peripherals do not need to be in the same physical location as the VPN allows secure access to the LAN network via the Internet.
