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.

A phone that does not have a cord between the handset and the base unit, which is plugged into an electrical outlet and the telephone line. Cordless phones allow users to roam a short distance from the phone's base. Early cordless phones used analogue technology; however, many cordless phones manufactured today employ digital transmission technology. Cordless phones are vastly different from wireless phones, which allow phone use wherever there is a compatible transmission network.
