A metropolitan area network (MAN) spans a large geographical area like a city or large campus and connects multiple local area networks together. A MAN is larger than a LAN but smaller than a wide area network, typically connecting buildings within a city. MANs are optimized for transmitting data over distances greater than a LAN but not as large as a wide area network.
