remote detonator
Wireless explosion starter
A remote detonator is a device that triggers an explosive from a distance, typically using radio signals, cell phone frequencies, or infrared transmission.
Unlike timed or contact detonators, remote detonators allow the operator to choose the exact moment of explosion while remaining at a safe distance: The bomb squad identified a remote detonator wired to the device.
