4. Wireless Topologies
RangeLAN802 products look and operate similar to Ethernet products. The only difference
is that a radio replaces the wire between various nodes. This means that all of your existing
applications that operate over Ethernet will work with RangeLAN802 without any special
wireless networking software. Wireless products are typically used in several network
topologies described in this chapter.
Ad Hoc Network
With wireless LANs, one or more computers easily establish an ad hoc network when the
units are in range of each other. Each computer can dynamically connect and reconnect to
the others with no additional configuration, using off-the-shelf peer-to-peer network operat-
ing systems. With this capability, many companies are developing applications optimized for
ad hoc networks.
