Simplex Communication

Simplex communication is a one-way communication channel that only allows the transmission of information in a single direction. It differs from half-duplex communication which allows transmission of information in two directions, but only one direction at a time. Examples of simplex communication include radio and television broadcasting from a transmitter to multiple receivers, as well as older walkie-talkie radios where only one person can transmit at once while the other listens. The transmission medium, such as a radio signal through air, can only carry information flowing in one direction in a simplex channel.

Simplex wireless communication

Simplex communication is a communication channel that sends information in one


direction only.[1]
The International Telecommunication Union definition is a communications channel that
operates in one direction at a time, but that may be reversible; this is termed half
duplex in other contexts. A duplex communication channel requires two simplex
channels operating in opposite directions at the same time.
For example, in TV and radio broadcasting, information flows only from the transmitter
site to multiple receivers. A pair of walkie-talkie two-way radios provide a simplex circuit
in the ITU sense; only one party at a time can talk, while the other listens until it can
hear an opportunity to transmit. The transmission medium (the radio signal over the air)
can carry information in only one direction.
The old Western Union company used the term simplex when describing the half-
duplex and simplex capacity of their new transatlantic telegraph cable completed
between Newfoundland and the Azores in 1928.[2] The same definition for a simplex
radio channel was used by the National Fire Protection Association in 2002.[3]
