Duplex systems are employed in many communications networks, either to allow for simultaneous communication in both directions between two connected parties or to provide a reverse path for the monitoring and remote adjustment of equipment in the field.

What are the benefits of using full duplex?

With a full duplex network environment, that data can be sent and received at the same time. That can result in faster throughput speeds, fewer network bottlenecks and a marked increase in network performance.

Where is duplex data used?

Duplex data transmission is the term used to describe any communication that takes place in both directions at the same time. The classic example of this is the telephone. You can both send and receive information at the same time. You can both talk and hear at once!
