Unicom
A non-government communication facility, typically operated by the FBO at a non-towered airport, that can provide airport advisories such as wind direction, active runway, and traffic information. The common Unicom frequency is 122.8 MHz. At many non-towered airports, the CTAF and Unicom share the same frequency. Unicom is advisory only and does not provide ATC services or clearances.
