Why haven't you included descriptions of LAN as it relates to video??? I would like to invite you to add this to your written article please. Otherwise, this has been a great read.)
Gentlemen:
In his book, "Local Networks, An Introduction" by Dr. William Stallings, PhD. in Computer Science from M.I.T. in 1971, Copyright (c) 1984, Macmillan Publishing Co., Div. of Mamillan, Inc., on page 2, he defines what a "Local Network" is: "A local network is a communications network that provides interconnection of a variety of data communicating devices within a small area." It is a SuperSet of the "Local Area Network (LAN)"--the page that Wikipedia redirects one to when looking up "Local Network." I think you should get Dr. Stallings to write an article for your "Local Network" page and then redirect from it to all the different kinds of local networks he mentions.

A
recent edit at
Local area network#History added a claim regarding the "first implementation of a LAN ... in 1980" for an electronic voting system of the European Parliament. The reference for that is not sufficient for a claim of first. See
reliable sources and
WP:REDFLAG. Many topics have conflicting claims of first—the first telephone/radio/television/email etc. For an earlier example regarding this topic, see
November 2007 which added "The first LAN put into service occurred in 1964 at the Livermore Laboratory to support atomic weapons research.
" A claim of first would need to be backed by a completely independent reliable source.

The system described in the linked article sounds like a terminal system to me – where subordinate devices talk to a master - rather than a computer network that allows all nodes to talk to each other. We need to add a clarification to the source or remove the claim. -- Zac67 ( talk) 21:00, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
"Most wireless LANs use Wi-Fi as wireless adapters are typically integrated into smartphones, tablet computers and laptops." The sentence formation doesn't seem good with this one. I suggest someone to correct it CrAzY1357924680 ( talk) 13:44, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
But we'd need a source for that.Yup, just as the original
