There are numerous communication technology based on Radio like today’s Wifi (802.11b), WiMax (802.16d and 802.16e), Global System for Mobile (GSM), Third generation cellular mobile network (3G), fourth generation cellular network (4G), Long term evaluation(LTE), High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) and there are lot more new communication technology hugely depends on Radio technologies.

Today’s Wireless LAN Standard_IEEE 802.11g
Today’s Wireless LAN Standard_IEEE 802.11a
IEEE 802.11a- specifies much faster data transfer rate than 802.11b,but lacks compatibility with IEEE 802.11b. 802.11a uses the 5 GHz UNII frequency bands. This standard was ratified by IEEE in 1999 as an amendment to the original IEEE 802.11 standard. Wi-Fi product certification has been extended to include 802.11a. More details . . .
Today’s Wireless LAN Standard_IEEE 802.11b
IEEE 802.11b-modifies 802.11 2.4GHz DSSS (Direct sequence spread spectrum) to include faster data transfer rates up to 11Mbps.This standard was the first to be widely promoted as wi-fi Alliance.802.11b was ratified by IEEE in 1999 as an amendment to the original IEEE 802.11 standard.
