Simplex communication is communication in which information is only sent one way. This type is mainly found in broadcast networks where one source disseminates information. Receivers don’t send information back to the sender. Axitour provides, among other things, simplex communication systems and transmitters which can pass the signal to as many as 250 receivers.

We have two such communication systems in our assortment: the Axitour AT-300 system and Axitour AT-500 system.

With full-duplex communication system, it is possible to establish a connection in which, at the same time, information can be exchanged in two directions, just like a phone call. In the communication technology, with half-duplex, it is possible to send information in two directions but not at the same time. A half-duplex communication system, for example, is a walkie talkie.
