Physical properties of optical fiber make it an excellent choice for Local Area Network (LAN), such as wide bandwidth, less cost, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and high reliability under extreme temperatures. Applications of fiber optic in LAN can help end-users to obtain unlimited steam of information with high speed, and bring much convenience and productivity to our daily life and work.

A LAN, short for Local Area Network, is a network that covers a small area such as schools, offices, and groups of buildings. And its owner has control over a local network.
Whereas a WAN, short for Wide Area Network, is a network that covers larger areas, sometimes it consists of thousands of networks. A WAN is usually not owned by a single organization or entity.
