GoKawiilTraditional radio-based systems often suffer severe attenuation underground, as soil and rock absorb or scatter electromagnetic waves. By contrast, magnetic induction uses low-frequency magnetic fields that can propagate through solid ground with less attenuation than conventional radio waves.Read Entire Article
