For contrast, wide area network (WAN) no just dey cover larger geographic distance, but e also dey involve leased telecommunication circuits or Internet links. Another big difference na the Internet, wey be system wey connect business and personal computers globally.

Ethernet and Wi-Fi na the two common technologies wey dey use for local area networks. Historical technologies include ARCNET, Token ring, and AppleTalk.

The high demand and use of computers for universities and research labs for late 1960s make dem need high-speed connections between computer systems. A report from Lawrence Radiation Laboratory for 1970 wey detail the growth of their "Octopus" network give good indication of the situation.

A number of experimental and early commercial LAN technologies develop for 1970s. Cambridge Ring start development for Cambridge University for 1974. Ethernet develop for Xerox PARC for 1973–1975, and dem file am as . For 1976, after the system deploy for PARC, Robert Metcalfe and David Boggs publish important paper, "Ethernet: Distributed Packet-Switching for Local Computer Networks". ARCNET develop by Datapoint Corporation for 1976 and announce am for 1977. E get the first commercial installation for December 1977 for Chase Manhattan Bank for New York.```
