Many coils, power cables and antennas used in the communications industry make use of aluminum wire as well. By mixing aluminum and copper, the resultant alloy is a cheap but even better conductor that makes up most of the specialty wire and cable used in the communications field. Plain aluminum wire is also the primary wire used by public and commercial broadcasting companies, and is an effective wire to use for private and emergency networks.

Even the medical field makes use of the flexible and conductive nature of aluminum wire as many of the machines used in ultrasonography rely on this specialty wire and cable to transfer information and electricity throughout the machine.
