Differences Between Guided and Unguided Media



BASIS FOR COMPARISON
GUIDED MEDIA
UNGUIDED MEDIA
Basic
The signal requires a physical path for transmission.
The signal is broadcasted through air or sometimes water.
Alternative name
It is called wired communication or bounded transmission media.
It is called wireless communication or unbounded transmission media.
Direction
It provides direction to signal for travelling.
It does not provide any direction.
Types
Twisted pair cable, coaxial cable and fibre optic cable.
Radio wave, microwave and infrared.



Key Differences Between Guided and Unguided Media


1.   The key difference between guided and unguided media is that guided media uses a physical path or conductor to transmit the signals whereas, the unguided media broadcast the signal through the air.
2.   The guided media is also called wired communication or bounded transmission media. However, the unguided media is also called wireless communication or unbounded transmission media.
3.   The guided media provide direction to the signal whereas, the unguided media does not direct the signal.
4.   Categories of guided media are twisted pair cable, coaxial cable and optical fibre. On the other hands, the categories of unguided media are radio wave, microwave, and infrared signal.
