Q .
What is Ad-Hoc mode?
A . Ad-Hoc mode is a profile setting that provides independent peer-to-peer connectivity. In Ad-
Hoc mode you can connect to other WLAN enabled devices without the need of an access
point.
Q .
What is Network Infrastructure mode?
A .
Network Infrastructure mode is a client setting providing connectivity to an Access Point. As
compared to Ad-Hoc mode, whereby devices communicate directly with each other, a Profile
set in Infrastructure Mode must pass data through a central Access Point. The Access Point
not only mediates wireless network traffic in the immediate neighborhood, but also provides
communication with the wired network.
PCs communicate directly with each other; clients set in Infrastructure mode all pass data
through a central Access Point. The Access Point not only mediates wireless network traffic in
the immediate neighborhood, but also provides communication with the wired network.
Q . What are the requirements for WLAN connectivity?
A . A standard WLAN infrastructure (access points), other Bluetooth enabled devices, separately
purchased equipment and a service contract with a wireless airtime provider may be
required for applicable wireless communication. Wireless Internet use requires a separately
purchased service contract. Check with a service provider for availability and coverage in
your area. Not all Web content available.

Windows Mobile 5.0 software for Pocket PC?
