What is WAN

Telephone companies are finding themselves confronted with a very basic problem: multiple networks. The solution that was devised is a unique new network for the future that will replace the entire telephone system and all the specialized networks with a unique completed network for all types of transport of information. This new network will support enormous rhythm of data compared to all the existing networks and services, and will render possible the offer of a large variety of new services. The new service network for a wide region is called Digital Network of Completed Services of Wide Area broadband integrated services digital network (B-ISDN). The technological infrastructure that renders it feasible is called asynchronous way of transport: asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) because the transmission is not modern; that is, attached in a being first clock.
