radio communication
Airwave information exchange
Radio communication is the transmission of information using radio waves—electromagnetic signals that travel through air or space without wires.
It encompasses everything from two-way radios and amateur ham operations to broadcast radio and emergency services.
The term often appears in military, aviation, and maritime contexts where reliable wireless contact is essential: Radio communication with the tower was lost during the storm.
