3. Wirefree Topologies
Harmony wirefree products look and operate similar to Ethernet
products. The only difference is that a radio replaces the wire
between various nodes. This means that all of your existing
applications that operate over Ethernet will work with Harmony
without any special wirefree networking software. The
Harmony 802.11b PC Card supports several network topologies,
which are described in this chapter.
Ad Hoc
With wireless LANs, one or more computers easily establish an
ad hoc network when the units are in range of each other. Each
computer can dynamically connect and reconnect to the others
with no additional configuration, using off-the-shelf peer-to-peer
network operating systems. With this capability, many compa-
nies are developing applications optimized for ad hoc networks.
