Line of sight	They can travel through obstacles such as buildings.	They usually require a clear line of sight between transmitting and receiving antennas.
Equipment	Antennas transmit and receive signals.	Transmitters and receivers are commonly placed on high towers.
Uses and limitations	Used for direct voice communication; transmission is not secure and can be affected by weather.	Used for long-distance communication; repeaters may be needed, and weather can affect the signal.
