Stands for "Wide Area Network." It is similar to a Local Area Network

GPRS, CDMA2000, GSM, CDPD, Mobitex, HSDPA or 3G to transfer
data. WWAN connectivity allows a user with a laptop and a WWAN
card to surf the web, check email, or connect to a Virtual Private
Network (VPN) from anywhere within the regional boundaries of
cellular service.
