Network Topologies

Ad hoc Wireless LAN

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.
