Considering Mr. Singh's situation, where he has offices in three cities, the need for centralized resources, and the potential benefits of inter-office collaboration, it is advisable for him to create a WAN connecting the three LANs. Creating a WAN will give him the following benefits:
- Centralized Resources — A single WAN would allow centralized resources, such as servers and databases, to be shared among all offices. This can improve efficiency and data consistency.
- Efficient Communication — A WAN facilitates seamless communication and collaboration between offices, making it easier for employees to work together regardless of their physical location.
- Cost Efficiency — Sharing resources over a WAN can reduce the need for redundant equipment, leading to potential cost savings.
