What is different between baseband communication and carrier communication?

Baseband communication transmits digital signals directly over a communication medium without modulation, typically used in local area networks (LANs) where the entire bandwidth of the medium is utilized for a single signal. In contrast, carrier communication involves modulating a carrier wave to transmit information over longer distances, allowing multiple signals to occupy the same medium simultaneously through techniques like frequency division multiplexing. This makes carrier communication more suitable for broadcasting and long-range transmissions.
