In communications technology, a remote station is a device that can communicate with other compatible devices.
Signals are sent on identical transmission channels within a communication system , usually via several exchanges . This exchange can, but does not have to be reciprocal (example of this one-sidedness: one remote station only sends, the other only receives). Remote stations are used in a great many systems, for example in radio , telecommunications and remote data transmission . However, data is often exchanged , and in some cases the recipient only acknowledges a shipment.
Examples:
- The Internet can only be used with a remote station. It communicates with servers or computers in the network protocol TCP / IP ( communication link ).
- Radios always need a remote station in order to fulfill their purpose - radio traffic ; The remote stations, for example a radio station , almost always have a radio call name .
- Dial-up lines in telecommunications are useless without a remote station.
- Intercoms also have at least one remote station.
Demarcation
The remote station is not to be confused with the two-way radio mode (opposite to two-way communication ). The two-way talk is the change of sending and receiving of remote stations, which does not happen at the same time.
