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 for a small branch office or SOHO operation.
