What is the term for a radio system permanently mounted in a building?

• A. Transmitter
• B. Land radio system
• C. Repeater system
• D. Base station

Answer: (D)

A base station is the fixed, central point of a radio network that is permanently installed in a building. It stays in one location and provides the main control and communication link to mobile or portable radios outside, usually with higher power and a fixed antenna setup. A transmitter by itself is only one piece of the system and doesn’t imply a fixed installation. A land radio system is a broad term for radio use on land, not specifically the fixed site. A repeater system is a component used to extend coverage by receiving and re-transmitting signals, which can be part of a base station, but the term base station specifically denotes the permanent in-building station itself.
