What is tiny area network?

Answer 1

A TAN, or Tiny Area Network, is simply a very small LAN, or Local Area Network. (A LAN connects computers in a small area such as a building or a department). TANs are becoming popular in homes, home offices, and small businesses. There are many benefits to having a TAN. Networking your computers makes it possible to share high speed modems, routers, printers, and files. Once your computers are networked, you can send email and reminders to others on your network, and home users may even play network games with family members. With a TAN, you can take full advantage of your router or proxy server software, which enable an internet connection to be shared among other computers on the network. That way, everyone on the network can visit different places on the internet at the same time.
