Abstract

Nowadays, wireless technology is an essential part of communication. Most of the organizations benefitted by adopting wireless technology solutions may lead to higher productivity. Today, globally, several customers are using this technology for resolving various business issues and create advantages over competitors. This technology helps to achieve high customer satisfaction with lesser complexity. It also assists various types of exciting applications such as sensor networks, Bluetooth, mobile communication systems, and Internet of Things (IoT). Wireless technology makes the use of radio waves to transfer data without cables or wiring. In this proposed paper, several applications of wireless networks and its variations are illustrated along with their challenges and security issues. It provides a guideline about upcoming inventions in the area of wireless technology.
