May 3, 2024 3 minute read

Wide Area Network (WAN) Engineers are those who design, build, and maintain the computer networks for companies, organizations, and other entities. A WAN is a large network that connects multiple local area networks (LANs) together, allowing them to communicate with each other across long distances. WANs can be used to connect devices within a single building, across multiple buildings, or even across different cities or countries.
