06Fourth: network transmission media
Wired: fibre-optic cables carry light signals at very high speed over long distances with little loss and no electrical interference; twisted-pair Ethernet cables are cheaper and easy to install over short distances.
Wireless: Wi-Fi and radio links, Bluetooth for very short ranges, and satellite links for remote areas where cabling is impossible.
Choosing the medium depends on distance, required speed, budget and the environment — a factory floor with electrical noise favours fibre, a mobile classroom favours Wi-Fi.
