Fig a-1 An Example of Ad-Hoc Wireless LAN

An Ad-Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with one WireFree

adapter, connected as an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a specific Ad-Hoc wireless

LAN must be configured at the same radio channel.

Ad-Hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a branch or SOHO

operation.
