Which is a private network that belongs to an organization that can only be accessed by approved internal users?

An intranet is a computer network for sharing information, easier communication, collaboration tools, operational systems, and other computing services within an organization, usually to the exclusion of access by outsiders.

What type of network is a private network that can also be accessed?

What type of network is a private network that belongs to an organization that can only be accessed by approved internal users? An intranet is a separate open network that can access without prior authorization.

What type of network is a private network that can also be accessed by authorized external customers vendors and partners?

An extranet is a private network that enterprises use to provide trusted third parties -- such as suppliers, vendors, partners, customers and other businesses -- secure, controlled access to business information or operations.

What does WLAN mean in Wi

A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a wireless computer network that links two or more devices using wireless communication to form a local area network (LAN) within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, campus, or office building.
