radio transmission
Over-the-air communication
Radio transmission is the sending of signals through electromagnetic waves rather than wires.
The term covers everything from AM/FM broadcasts to walkie-talkie communication to satellite signals.
A single radio transmission is one instance of sending such a signal: We intercepted an enemy radio transmission.
The phrase emphasizes the wireless nature of the communication.
