In an AD-HOC network, the devices
communicate directly with each other
without passing through an access point.
The speed of communication across the
whole AD-HOC radio network is as fast as
the weakest connection in the network. The
speed of communication is also dependent
on spatial distance between transmitter and
receiver, as well as the number of barriers,
such as walls or ceilings.
