Here is a breakdown of the command components:
- "nmcli": The command-line interface for NetworkManager, a software utility that manages network connectivity on Linux-based systems.
- "radio": Specifies the radio option of the nmcli command, which is used to control the radio devices like Wi-Fi, cellular, or Bluetooth on the system.
- "wwan": Specifies the WWAN option of the nmcli radio command, which deals specifically with the mobile broadband or cellular network.
