Information transmission carrier refers to the medium or substance that carries information in the process of information transmission. In the field of modern communication, the commonly used carriers for transmitting information are telecommunication network, satellite communication, optical fiber communication, radio waves and so on. These information carriers carry all kinds of information we need in our daily life, such as voice, data, video and so on.
Telecommunication network is the carrier of information transmission.
Telecommunication network is one of the most commonly used carriers for transmitting information. Including fixed telephone, mobile phone and other communication methods, and transmit information through telephone lines, radio waves and other means. In the development of telephone network, from the initial analog telephone network to the current digital telephone network, our communication mode has undergone tremendous changes.
Digital telephone network adopts digital signal processing mode, thus improving the call quality and stability. In addition, because digital signals can be compressed and decompressed, digital telephone networks can also transmit multimedia information, such as video. Therefore, the development of telecommunication network not only changes people's communication mode, but also greatly improves the efficiency of information transmission.
Satellite communication as the carrier of information transmission
Satellite communication is a technology of information transmission through artificial satellites. With the help of satellite communication technology, information can be transmitted anywhere on the earth, thus breaking the geographical limitation of traditional communication methods. In order to ensure the quality of information transmission, communication satellites need to be located in orbit above the earth's surface.
Although satellite communication has many advantages in information transmission, there are also some challenges. First of all, satellite communication needs to consume a lot of energy, and the satellite has a short life and needs to be replaced constantly. In addition, the long delay time of satellite communication will affect the use effect of some real-time applications. However, the communication function of satellite communication in emergency is irreplaceable.
Optical fiber communication as a carrier for transmitting information
Compared with traditional communication methods, optical fiber communication is a new type of information transmission carrier. Optical fiber communication uses optical fiber as the medium of information transmission, which can transmit information to remote terminals in a very short time. Compared with other carriers for transmitting information, optical fiber communication has higher transmission speed and lower transmission delay.
In addition, due to the high bandwidth of optical fiber, a large amount of information can be transmitted at the same time to meet people's growing communication needs. Although optical fiber communication has obvious advantages in transmission speed and quality, it also faces many challenges. Optical fiber communication needs high construction cost and high maintenance cost. In addition, the coverage of optical fiber communication is limited.
Radio waves as the carrier of information transmission
Radio wave is a technology to transmit information by radio wave. This technology was first used in the field of radio broadcasting, and then used in mobile communication, satellite communication and other fields. When using radio waves to transmit information, both parties need to be equipped with receivers and transmitters.
Although radio waves have many advantages in the convenience of communication, there are also some problems. Radio waves are susceptible to external interference, which affects the transmission quality of information. In addition, because the influence of electromagnetic radiation on human health needs to be considered during the transmission of radio waves, it is also necessary to comply with relevant safety regulations.

In the information age, there are more and more carriers to transmit information. Telecommunication network, satellite communication, optical fiber communication and radio waves all play an important role, making people's communication methods more convenient, efficient and comprehensive. In the future, we can look forward to the further research and development of these information transmission carriers and bring more gospel to mankind.
