A data network is a system of interconnected computers and devices that allows for the exchange and sharing of data. It includes hardware components like routers, switches, and cables, as well as software protocols that ensure data is transmitted efficiently and securely. Data networks can be local, such as a home or office network, or extend over large geographic areas, such as a wide area network (WAN). By facilitating seamless communication and data transfer, data networks are essential for modern business operations, supporting activities like email, file sharing, and online collaboration.
