Identify diffrent types of
communication media
Transmission media can be divided into
two broad categories guided (also called
wired) transmission media, in which
communications signals
are guided along a solid medium, and
wireless, in which the communications
signal is broadcast over airwaves as a
form of electromagnetic radiation.
Guided media (Wired) :

* Twisted pair wire: twisted pairs of


copper wire, shielded or
unshielded; used for telephone
service.
* Coaxial cable: Inner conductor
wire surrounded by insulation.
* Fiber-optic cable: Many extremely
thin strands of glass bound
together in a sheathing; uses light
Unguided media (Wireless) :
* Radio frequency: Operates in the 3
KHz–300 MHz range.
* Microwave—terrestrial and satellite
frequency range: High-frequency radio
signal (300 MHz–300 GHz) sent through
the atmosphere and space (often
involves communications satellites).
* Infrared frequency range: Signals in
the 300 GHz–400 THz frequency range.

organization that provides Internet access to people.
