5. Wireless Topologies
RangeLAN2 products look and operate similar to Ethernet prod-
ucts. 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 RangeLAN2 without
any special wireless networking software. Wireless products are
typically used in several network topologies described in this
chapter.
Ad Hoc
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 operating systems. With this capability, many companies
are developing applications optimized for ad hoc networks.
