The IEEE 802.11 generation is actually only the earliest standard, allowing 1-2 Mbps of bandwidth. Amendments have be made to the ORIGINAL standard in ORDER to optimize bandwidth (these include the 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g standards, which are also called 802.11 PHYSICAL standards) or to BETTER specify components in order to ensure improved security or compatibility.

Name of Generation- 802.11a

Name- WiFi5

Description- The 802.11a standard (called Wi-Fi 5) allows higher bandwidth (54 Mbps maximum throughput, 30 Mbps in practice). The 802.11a standard provides 8 radio CHANNELS in the 5 GHz frequency band.
