WLAN is generally Wi-Fi (802.11x).
Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN)
Also known as Mobile Broadband, this service is generally provided by the
phone companies for use on mobile devices. A mobile device or laptop
must support WWAN technology to connect to this network.
Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
