radio frequencies

Wireless transmission channels

Radio frequencies are the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used for wireless communication, ranging from about 3 kilohertz to 300 gigahertz.

Different bands within this range are allocated for specific purposes: AM and FM radio broadcasting, television signals, cellular networks, Wi-Fi, satellite communication, and emergency services.

Governments regulate these frequencies to prevent interference between competing signals.

The new tower will broadcast on multiple radio frequencies.
