Wireless (radio) transmission communication
- [Instructor] Telecom towers connect to the data center, even the areas without physical cables. And the secret lies in a microwave transmission, a key technology that beams data across vast distances using radio waves. Microwave networks are the key pillars of telecom, which connects towers in cities and even the remote regions. Let's explore how these networks use frequency bands, including the lower, middle, and high frequency bands. Let's start with the lower frequency bands, which ranges from six gigahertz to 15 gigahertz, and these are the champions of coverage in telecommunication. These lower frequency bands are really good at a long range communication as they travel far, and they're less impacted by the environmental factors like rain or fog. The data capacity, although it is lower compared to high frequency bands, but their reliability ensures consistent connectivity. In case of mid band, the frequency range is 15 gigahertz to 42 gigahertz, and they are the workhorses of…
