| abstract | - Subspace transceivers were components of any type of subspace radio. Several starships were equipped with a subspace transceiver array. Subspace transceivers formed an integral part of the Borg Collective, as they were responsible for linking the trillions of drones into the collective consciousness. Enterprise NX-01 was equipped with a subspace transceiver array. In 2151, Ensign Hoshi Sato had to run a diagnostic of the array. (ENT: "Silent Enemy") In 2154, subspace transceivers were used by the Romulan Star Empire on the exterior of the Romulan drone ship. (ENT: "Babel One") In 2370, Jake Sisko built a subspace transceiver as a science project. (DS9: "Whispers") Dukat's Bird-of-Prey had a modified subspace transceiver array to create an image of a freighter having refined dilithium crystals aboard instead of his true image. (DS9: "Return to Grace") In 2372, the Cardassians removed Empok Nor's subspace transceiver when they abandoned the space station. (DS9: "Empok Nor") In 2374, Grand Nagus Zek brought three Ferengi subspace transceivers to Deep Space 9 aboard his shuttle. (DS9: "Profit and Lace") The spikes on the Romulan drone ship were subspace transceivers. By extension, the spikes at either end of the Earth Spacedock were probably also subspace transceivers.
- Many planetary governments, large corporations, and wealthy individuals maintained private subspace transceivers. Because each radio had a range of up to several light years, governments used these units to connect local planets with a sector-wide communications grid. Although much more powerful than standard comlinks, subspace radios were not nearly as advanced or effective as the HoloNet. Most planets were integrated into local subspace networks that used transceivers aboard deep-space satellites to link dozens of worlds in an instantaneous and continuous flow of data. These networks normally handled news, sports, entertainment, and educational programming. Individuals and corporations purchased broadcast time for private messages, with fees running anywhere from one to twenty credits per ten seconds of transmission time. Hundreds of subspace networks were scattered across the galaxy, so a message could theoretically be sent across the galaxy by bouncing it across multiple networks. While this process was much more affordable than the HoloNet, messages could be delayed for hours or days as they were routed through different networks. Because each network had different communication protocols, messages could be corrupted or lost, and so it was often cheaper and safer to send long-distance messages by courier ships.
