MANET stands for Mobile Ad Hoc Network. It is a decentralized type of wireless mesh network where mobile devices dynamically create a temporary communication system without fixed infrastructure.

In a MANET:

• Devices automatically join or leave the network

• Nodes can move freely

• Network topology changes dynamically

• No centralized controller is required

MANET technology is commonly used in:

• Military tactical communications

• Emergency rescue operations

• Public safety deployments

• Temporary event networking

• Remote industrial monitoring

Broadband MANET systems can support real-time video, voice, GPS data, and command coordination.
