The term "geographical area" is somewhat ambiguous. Generally speaking, there are 4 types of networks PAN (Personal Area Network), covers a short range, perhaps 20 foot diameter. This is what a bluetooth network usually is. LAN (Local Area Network), covers a building, and perhaps nearby buildings. A common stand alone office network is one of these. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network), covers a wider area then a LAN, but less then a WAN. This is not a very common term, but is usually something along the lines of a business that has two buildings in the same city, but not very close to each other. WAN (Wide Area Network), any large network span. The internet itself is a form of WAN.
