Relay stations
Relay stations are intermediary points in communication networks that receive signals from a source, process or amplify them, and then transmit them onward to their final destination. Think of them as traffic controllers that ensure signals, such as radio, television, or phone transmissions, are efficiently handed off along the route, especially over long distances or difficult terrains. They help extend the reach and improve the quality of signal transmission, making communication more reliable and widespread across larger areas.
