Peer-to-peer
An ad-hoc network is a network where stations communicate only peer to peer (P2P).
OPERATING MODES
Infrastructure Mode Infrastructure Mode consists of at least one Access Point connected to the Distribution System.
Cost Effectiveness Safe & Security Efficiency Helpful for the Students & Faculties.
Cost Effectiveness
It is easier to add or move workstations. It is easier to provide connectivity in areas where it is difficult to lay cable. Installation is fast and easy, and it can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. In historic buildings where traditional cabling would compromise the faade, a WLAN can avoid the need to drill holes in walls. Long-term cost benefits can be found in dynamic environments requiring frequent moves and changes.
yes $16,995
Table 2 leased line rates in U.S. Source (OBrien,1999) Fiber 2 strands distance 40KM $252,000
Efficient
Access to the network can be from anywhere within range of an access point. Portable or semipermanent buildings can be connected using a WLAN. When a facility is located on more than one site (such as on two sides of a road), a directional antenna can be used to avoid digging trenches under roads to connect the sites. Result of researches shows that wireless technologies have a direct impact on productivity.

In historic buildings where traditional cabling would compromise the faade, a WLAN can avoid the need to drill holes in walls. Long-term cost benefits can be found in dynamic environments requiring frequent moves and changes. To hook up to the network, you only need to open your laptop and push button to enable the wireless network.
One of the best example of benefit of student is they can be connected to both library databases, & he can issue book from any of the libraries.
