Comparison- The difference between the different networks is vast. This is easily seen in the slowest of each of the networks, with the fastest on that comparison being the mobile network. However as the systems that are being used become more advance the mobile networks begin to appear slower, for example the FDDI on the LAN network has a higher data transfer rate than the OC-1 on WAN network and 802.16 (WiMax) on Mobile network. However at the top rates the WAN network has the fastest transfer rate compare to the other two networks. This shows that if you want to transfer data rapidly you would most likely chose the OC-3072/STM-1024 on the WAN network.
