Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A wide area network (WAN) is a network that connects multiple locations over a large geographical area, such as connecting all Walmart stores to the company's headquarters. This allows for the sharing of information and resources between locations. Local area networks (A) are smaller networks that connect devices within a specific area, such as a single store or building. Expert systems (B) are computer programs that use artificial intelligence to provide advice, recommendations, or solutions in a specific domain. Enterprise resource systems (D) are software systems that integrate various business functions across an organization, such as inventory management, accounting, and customer relationship management. While Walmart likely uses an enterprise resource system, this is not directly related to the satellite dishes used for their network connection.
