A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communications line or wireless link and typically share the resources of a single processor or server within a small geographic area (for example, within an office building). Usually, the server has applications and data storage that are shared in common by multiple computer users. A local area network may serve as few as two or three users (for example, in a home network) or as many as thousands of users.

Lightspeed has years of experience working with Ethernet and Token Ring based LANS. Ethernet is by far the most commonly used LAN technology. However, a number of corporations use the Token Ring technology that may have been originally deployed years ago.

Whether you are a small business owner or the decision maker for a larger organization, Lightspeed will work within your budget to develop a solution that is right for you.
