Network Upgrade Proposal

Mrs. and Mr. Janet and Johnny Jones,

It was a pleasure meeting and speaking with you both yesterday. After reviewing all that we spoke about in regards to building a network for your business, I have put together a report for you both to look over. Let me know what you think and when you would like to get started Thanks,

WAN- wide area network. A WAN can span the entire planet. The Internet is the largest WAN available connecting continent to continent. WAN is a global collection of many LANs by each individual LAN router. From LAN router to router the WAN is created.

Of course we will be working with a LAN for your business network.
