õhutisevõrgu
õhutise võrgu, also known as an air network, refers to a communication system that utilizes atmospheric conditions or air itself as a medium for transmitting information. This can encompass a broad range of technologies, from traditional radio waves that travel through the air to more speculative concepts. Historically, the term might have been applied to early wireless telegraphy systems where radio signals were the primary means of communication. In a broader sense, it can also allude to the propagation of sound waves, though this is less commonly associated with "võrgu" (network) in a technological context. Modern interpretations might consider the use of drones or balloons equipped with communication devices as forming a type of temporary or mobile air network, facilitating data transfer or connectivity in areas lacking conventional infrastructure. The efficiency and reliability of such networks are heavily dependent on factors like atmospheric interference, weather patterns, and the power of the transmitting and receiving equipment. Research continues into utilizing various aspects of the atmosphere for enhanced and novel communication methods.
