• The guided media is also called wired communication or bounded transmission media. However, the unguided media is also called wireless communication or unbounded transmission media.
• The guided media provide direction to the signal whereas, the unguided media does not direct the signal.
• Categories of guided media are twisted pair cable, coaxial cable and optical fibre. Categories of unguided media are radio wave, microwave, and infrared signal.
