1. A wireless transmitter for controlling a barrier operator, comprising:
at least one processor;
an encoder configured to encrypt at least a portion of a first data packet;
an antenna;
a first oscillator configured to generate a first carrier wave at a frequency of a first channel;
a second oscillator configured to generate a second carrier wave at a frequency of a second channel;
a first modulator configured to modulate the first data packet into the first carrier wave;
a second modulator configured to modulate the first data packet into the second carrier wave;
a diplexer configured to multiplex the first carrier wave and the second carrier wave; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to concurrently:
(a) transmit a first data packet configured to initiate actuation of the barrier operator on a first channel via the antenna; and
(b) transmit the first data packet on a second channel via the antenna.
