1)It covered very large geographical area.


2)Large number of nodes are connected.


3)It may be used in guided(wired) or unguided(wireless) medium.


4)Transmission speed is not such good as LAN.


5)Resources are shared very easily.


6)Error rate is higher as compared to LAN.


7)Easily expandable.
