office network

An office network is the system of interconnected computers, printers, and other devices within a workplace, allowing employees to share files, access common resources, and communicate.

The term covers both the physical infrastructure—cables, routers, servers—and the digital environment employees navigate daily: The office network went down, so nobody could print.
