This value reports whether the detected transmitter in this table row is operating in ad-hoc mode networking or infrastructure mode networking. Admins use it to distinguish peer-to-peer ad-hoc devices from access-point-based infrastructure networks when triaging RF detection results, since ad-hoc devices often warrant different handling in wireless security policy. For example, a transmitter flagged as ad-hoc mode near a secure facility might trigger a closer look for unauthorized peer-to-peer file sharing.
