Examples

• Modern telephone systems use duplexing to allow both parties to speak and listen simultaneously.
• The network protocol supports duplexing over fiber optic cables.
• Duplexing technology enables faster data transfer rates in wireless communications.
• The engineer configured the system for duplexing to improve bandwidth efficiency.
• Without proper duplexing, users would have to take turns transmitting and receiving data.
• The device is duplexing audio signals from multiple sources into one output stream.
