Using the radio-frequency spectrum for transmitting and receiving voice, data and video signals for communications.

, Communications, monitoring, or control system in which electromagnetic or acoustic waves carry a signal through atmospheric space rather than along a wire. In most wireless systems, radio-frequency (RF) or infrared (IR) waves are used. Some monitoring devices, such as intrusion alarms, employ acoustic waves at frequencies above the range of human [..]

Usually Radio Frequency wave transmission/reception but may use Infrared wave signals.

A means of timing using radio frequency transmitters/receivers, whereby the start gate and/or finish line are hard wired into radio transmitters that transmit timing impulses. The FIS currently allows the use of wireless systems as a backup only. An example of high-quality wireless systems is Alge's TED system, sold by PST.
