They usually cover the area that educational or corporate buildings reside on. CANs consist of LANs controlled by a single switch. A good reason to use CANs is because they are secure and are quick, this is because CANs are controlled by one entity, usually the IT team at the campus.

CANs can also stand for Controlled Area Network and Corporate Area Network
