Networks Explain in your own words the characteristics of the different topologies. Distinguish between WAN, PAN, LAN and MAN. Explain in your own words the concept of client/server architecture (client/server). communications Explains the technologies used for wireless communications (Wireless). It explains what a Wi-Fi network is and presents an example of how it works. Summarizes the differences between how the Internet, a company intranet, and an extranet are accessed and used.
