transmissionsmedia
Transmissionsmedia, or transmission media, refers to the physical channel over which signals are transmitted in communications systems. The choice of media affects achievable data rates, distance, latency, reliability, cost, and susceptibility to interference. Media are typically categorized as guided (wired) and wireless.
Guided media include copper-based options such as twisted pair (unshielded and shielded), coaxial cable, and high-capacity
Wireless media convey signals through space without physical conductors. This category includes radio frequency (RF) communications,
Key factors in selecting a transmission medium include distance, required bandwidth, permissible latency, environment, security, and
Transmissionsmedia underpin many domains, from telecommunications and data networks to broadcast, sensing, and industrial control systems.
