Considering the context of the sentence, I assume the word "radio" not only refers to a "radio (either machine or broadcast)", but also implies every kind of wireless communication?

It is referring to every kind of wireless communication that uses "radio waves"! "Radio technology" uses electromagnetic waves that travel through the air from a satellite or the "ionosphere". Ex: The radio waves were disrupted. So, I couldn't hear anything. Ex: A satellite sends the signal of a radio wave, and the TV receives it.
