DEFINITION

Classification: 359/164

Plural stations:

(under subclass 154) Subject matter including at least two spaced apart stations each having a transmitter which communicates with a receiver located remote from the transmitter.

(1) Note. Since this subclass requires that a transmitter communicate with a remote receiver, an adjacent transmitter and receiver (i.e., within a single transceiver) do not constitute a spaced apart station.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

152, for optical transceivers where the transmitter and receiver are adjacent one another and within a single housing.
