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 config-
ured to the same radio channel. An ad-hoc wireless LAN can be used for a
branch office or SOHO operation.
