The advantages of Ad-hoc or infrastructure

There are two major forms of wireless networking. Ad-hoc and Infrastructure. Ad-hoc Wireless Networking is creating a wireless system where computers directly communicate with each other. Infrastructure, has computers all communicating through one central device. For this system a base station needs to be purchased in order for the linking to occur. If you're looking for the cheaper route Ad-hoc is obviously the way to go. However, if money isn't an issue you might want to consider the infrastructure network because of its ability to link up with other networks.
