Wireless
Really a misnomer. Belden makes a variety of cables needed to build the transmitting infrastructure required to support "wireless" devices. Wireless is a technology that allows a device (phone, pager or satellite dish) to be unconnected from the transmission point of a voice, video or data signal. The transmission infrastructure required to support such wireless devices is a wired platform of transmission towers and stations that communicate point to point and to telephone central offices.
