Wireless technologies have become increasingly
popular every day in business as well as in personal lives.
Wireless technology provides us many benefits like
portability and flexibility, increased productivity, and lower
installation costs. The IEEE 802.11 specification (ISO/IEC
8802-11) is an international standard describing the
characteristics of a wireless local area network (WLAN).
The name Wi-Fi (short for "Wireless Fidelity", sometimes
incorrectly shortened to Wi-Fi) corresponds to the name of
the certification given by the Wi-Fi Alliance, formerly
WECA (Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance), the
group which ensures compatibility between hardware
devices that use the 802.11 standard. Today, due to misuse
of the terms (and for marketing purposes), the name of the
standard is often confused with the name of the certification.
In this paper we are discussing about the wireless network
challenges and IEEE 802.11 Standards and WEP protocol.
Currently the 4G’s concept is marching towards the
standardization phase. So time has come to introduce a new
technology in which we can connect to multiple wireless
technologies, networks, terminals and applications, all
simultaneously and can also switch between them. This
latest technology is named as 5G.

Wi-Fi security is not an easy task. Wireless network
security is more difficult than wired network security. The
future is becoming more and more difficult to predict with
each passing year. So we should always expect an
increasing pace of technological change. In this paper, the
main importance is on 5G mobile phone concept and its
architecture which is going to be a new mobile revolution
in mobile market. The 5G technologies incorporate all
type of advanced features which makes 5G mobile
technology most powerful and in huge demand in near
future. There are many protocols or standards or we can
say technologies for wireless network security but every
protocol has its demerits, until now there is no protocol
which can provide security 100% or near about it.
