Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is a computer network larger than a Local Area Network. It
covers an area of few blocks of a city or the whole locality. MAN creates links between different LANs using either microwave, radio or infra-red laser transmission. It can also be defined as a network that interconnects computer resources in a geographic area or region which is larger than LAN but smaller than a Wide Area Network.
A typical example can be a Cable TV System.
