Overview

Definition: Transmits data using electromagnetic waves, such as radio or microwaves.
Common Examples: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, satellite communications, cellular networks.
Signal Transmission: Data is transmitted through the air via radio or microwaves.
Installation: Does not require cables, making it easier and quicker to deploy.
Cost: Lower upfront cost but may require additional equipment like antennas or towers.
Bandwidth: More susceptible to interference and may offer lower bandwidth depending on the technology.
Security: Less secure as data can be intercepted without physical access to the system.
Mobility: Allows for greater flexibility and mobility without being tethered to cables.
Distance: Can cover greater distances depending on the signal strength and technology used.
