iPhone to device via Wifi

I have an embedded hardware device that currently broadcasts data via bluetooth. I don't want to go through the steps of the MFi program, so I'm thinking about using a different chip in my device to broadcast the same data via WiFi/UDP.

It is my understanding that in that case the only thing I need is sockets and bonjour for discovery.

My question is: do I need a third device in the equation (a wireless router where the two devices are connected)? Or can the two devices establish some sort of ad hoc network?

Pointers are greatly开发者_如何转开发 appreciated.

Have a look at WiFly from Roving Networks. It might be what you're looking for.
