Landline (telephone)

A landline telephone is a traditional phone connected to a fixed network through physical cables, usually copper wires or fiber optics, rather than wireless signals. It works by transmitting voice calls as electrical signals over these wires to a local exchange, which routes the call to the recipient's landline or mobile device. Landlines typically offer reliable, clear communication and are used in homes and businesses. Unlike cell phones, they don't rely on radio signals and usually require a power source at the phone or connection point. Despite the rise of mobile phones, landlines remain vital for certain applications due to their stability and quality.
