Transceivers are called Medium Attachment Units ( MAU s) in IEEE 802.3 documents. COMPUTER NETWORKS Transceivers known as Medium Attachment Unit s were widely used in 10base2 and 10base5 Ethernet networks. Fibre-optic Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet utilize transceivers known as GBIC , SFP , XFP and XAUI . RADIO TECHNOLOGY See Also: Two-way radio In Radio terminology, a transceiver means a unit which contains both a receiver and a transmitter. It was quite common to have these units separated. Ham Radio Operators can build their own equipment and it is always easier to design and build a simple unit having one of the functions, transmitting or receiving. Almost every modern amateur radio equipment is now a transceiver but there is an active market for pure radio receivers, mainly for Shortwave Listening operators. An example of a transceiver would be a Walkie-talkie , or a CB Radio . TELEPHONY On a wired Telephone , the handset contains the transmitter and receiver for the Audio . The whole unit is colloquially referred to as a "receiver." On a Mobile Telephone or other Radiotelephone , the entire unit is a transceiver, for both audio and radio. A Cordless Telephone uses an audio and radio transceiver for the handset, and a radio transceiver for the Base Station . If a Speakerphone is included in a wired telephone base or in a cordless base station (less common), the base also becomes an audio transceiver in addition to the handset.
