Your company has been contracted to implement a 802.11 wireless system for a small town. Which type of implementation is this considered?

When a wireless system spans a town, city, or large metropolitan area, it is considered a wireless metro area network (WMAN). These can be found in many cities today but are not limited to public use. Many wireless systems are used by municipalities to facilitate connectivity to cameras and traffic monitoring systems. A wireless personal area network (WPAN) is a wireless network designed for personal use, usually for personal connectivity to the Internet through a hot spot. Wireless LAN (WLAN) is a term used to describe a wireless network that extends a wired network to wireless. The term is used to describe a campus-sized wireless network and not a wireless network that spans a public area. Wireless wide area network (WWAN) is a term used to describe cellular networks and not typical 802.11 wireless.
