Ad Hoc Wireless LAN (no Access Point)

An ad hoc wireless LAN consists of a group of computers, each equipped with a wireless
adapter, connected via radio signals as an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a
specific ad hoc wireless LAN must therefore be configured to the same radio channel. An
ad hoc wireless LAN can be used for a branch office or SOHO operation.
