A neighborhood area network (NAN) is an
offshoot of Wi-Fi hotspots and wireless local
area networks (WLAN), which enable users to
connect to the Internet quickly and at very
little expense.
 A NAN is generally installed by an individual to
serve a family or a number of neighbors.
 With the help of an omnidirectional antenna, a
single access point could cover a radius of
more than half a mile.
 Users who wish to connect to an NAN can then
make use of a directional antenna to get an
improved signal from the access point.

2
 NAN providers are usually individuals or a group
that join to share an Internet broadband
connection.
 If a user with a broadband connection, either DSL
or cable modem, plans to share it, an NAN makes it
possible to share this with anyone within range.
 In order for the receiver (usually neighbors within
reach) to connect wirelessly to the shared
Internet, they need to have a PDA or Wi-Fi enabled
laptop.
 This concept differs from the wireless deployment
for hotspots.
 Hotspots are usually commercial Internet access
points with a reach of only 300 feet.
 They are used to attract tech-savvy customers to a
coffee shop, airport or restaurant.

 NANs, on the other hand, offer a much wider
radius of Internet connection.
 Therefore, commercialization of NANs is an
effective way to speed up the extension of
neighborhood Wi-Fi networks.
 NANs allow users reduce their Internet expenditure
by sharing a connection with neighbors.
 The downside is that this strategy reduces the
bandwidth speed and sometimes leads to the
violation of the Internet service provider's
agreement.
 Some service providers do not allow individual
broadband users to share their connection, making
NANs a violation of that agreement.

 A home area network (HAN) is a network that is
deployed and operated within a small boundary,
typically a house or small office/home office
(SOHO).
 It enables the communication and sharing of
resources (like the Internet) between computers,
mobile and other devices over a network
connection.
 As a type of IP-based local area network (LAN), a
HAN may be wired or wireless.
 In a typical implementation, a HAN consists of a
broadband Internet connection that is shared
between multiple users through a vendor/third
party wired or wireless modem.

6
 User host devices may be standard computers,
laptops, mobiles and tablets.
 The modem generally has network switch
capabilities that provide wired LAN ports or
wireless connectivity to host users.
 A HAN also may include other devices, such as
a fax, printer, scanner or small network
attached storage that is shared by all host
devices.

 DSL is a technology that brings high
bandwidth internet connection to
homes and businesses over ordinary
copper telephone lines.
 DSL technology allows data
transmission at speeds much faster
than the best available analog and
digital modems.
 We'll explain a few of the variety of
dSL connections below.
9
 Telephone companies developed
another technology called DSL.
 DSL is used to provide higher-speed
access to the internet.
 DSL technology is one of the most
promising for supporting high-speed
digital communication over the existing
local loops
 DSL technology is a set of technologies,
each differing in the first letter (ADSL
(Asymmetric digital subscriber line ), VDSL (Very-
High-bit-rate), HDSL (High-bit-rate), and SDSL (A
symmetric).

10
ADSL(Asymmetric digital
subscriber line)
 ADSL provide a high bit rate in the
downstream direction than in the upstream
direction that’s why it is known as
asymmetric dsl.
 ADSL is specially designed for residential
customer.
 ADSL is not suitable for business customers
who need a large bandwidth in both
directions.

11
ADSL(Asymmetric digital
subscriber line)
 One interesting point is that ADSL uses
the existing local loops.
 The existing local loops can handle
bandwidths up to 1.1 MHz
 There is no set way that the bandwidth
of a system is divided.
 Each system can decide on its
bandwidth division.
12
 VDSL stands for very high bit rate of
digital subscriber line.
 It is similar to ADSL uses coaxial fiber
optics or twisted pair cables for a short
distance.
 It provides a range of bit rate(25 to 55
mbps) for downstream communication
at distances of 3000 to 10,000 ft.
 The upstream rate is normally 3.2 mbps.

13
 HDSL stand for high-bit-rate digital subscriber line.
 HDSL was designed as an alternative to
The T-1 line (1.544 mbps).
 The T-1line uses alternate mark inversion (ami)
encoding .
 For longer distances, a repeater is necessary, which
means increased costs.
 A data rate of 1.544 mbps (sometimes up to 2 mbps)
 Can be achieved without repeaters up to a distance of
12,000 ft (3.86 km).
 HDSL uses two twisted pairs (one pair for each
direction) to achieve full-duplex transmission.

14
 SDSL Stand for symmetric digital subscriber line.
 SDSL Is a one twisted-pair version of HDSL.
 It provides full-duplex symmetric communication
supporting up to 768 kbps in each direction.
 In SDSL The data rate in downstream direction
and upstream direction are same or equal.
 SDSL, Which provides symmetric communication,
can be considered an alternative to ADSL.
 Although this feature meets the needs of most
residential subscribers.
 It is not suitable for businesses that send and
receive data in large volumes in both directions.
