radio system

Wireless transmission infrastructure

A radio system is the complete set of equipment and infrastructure used to transmit and receive radio signals.

This includes transmitters, receivers, antennas, and any supporting components that work together for communication: The building's radio system allowed security guards to coordinate across all floors.

The term often appears in contexts like emergency services, aviation, or military communications where reliable wireless contact is essential.
