MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc Network)

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a type of wireless network where devices, such as smartphones or laptops, connect directly to each other without relying on a fixed infrastructure like routers or access points. Each device can communicate and cooperate to route data, dynamically organizing itself as devices move or join. This makes MANETs flexible and ideal for situations like disaster recovery, military operations, or outdoor events, where setting up traditional networks is impractical. They automatically create and maintain connections, allowing communication in real-time across a network that adapts to changing conditions.
