Mobile Ad-hoc Networking

Mobile Ad-hoc Networking (MANET) is a type of wireless network where devices, like smartphones or laptops, connect directly to each other without relying on fixed infrastructure such as routers or access points. These devices dynamically form a network on the fly, communicating peer-to-peer to share data. Because the network is decentralized, it can adapt quickly to changing conditions, making it useful in scenarios like disaster recovery, military operations, or outdoor events. MANETs are flexible, scalable, and resilient, allowing devices to collaborate seamlessly even in challenging or infrastructure-less environments.
