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 be
configured to the same
radio channel. An ad hoc
wireless LAN can be used
in a SOHO or temporary
environment.
