| - Subspace communication is a method of communication between two points by sending the information through subspace.
- Subspace communication could be jammed on a large scale via the use of the subspace equaliscopic system. (Star Trek: False Vacuum: "Structural Unemployment")
- An extremely long-ranged communication network used to send information across interstellar space. Both sender and receiver use a warp space, sending packetized data as electromagnetic pulses. Transmission delays depend on the distance and amount of data being sent, but the system is capable of supporting realtime video communication without difficulty.
- Subspace communication was mainly used by Starfleet Command to transmit orders to commanding officers of starships on deep-space assignments. Likewise, the vessels' commanding officers used subspace communication to relay reports on their various missions back to Starfleet Command, to ask for suggestions, and/or to make requests. (ENT: "Shockwave"; TOS: "Balance of Terror" ; Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds" ; VOY: "Friendship One"; et al.)
- Subspace communication is the primary form of communication, used by most warp capable species across the galaxy. Subspace communications are dispatched through subspace in excess of warp factor +9.9999, and can thus, travel incredible distances. (ST reference: Star Trek Encyclopedia) An unusual hybrid starship encountered by the USS Enterprise-D in 2370 was remote controlled via subspace signals. (TNG comic: "Strategy")

abstract
| - Subspace communication is a method of communication between two points by sending the information through subspace.
- Subspace communication is the primary form of communication, used by most warp capable species across the galaxy. Subspace communications are dispatched through subspace in excess of warp factor +9.9999, and can thus, travel incredible distances. (ST reference: Star Trek Encyclopedia) At close range to a sender of a subspace communication, real-time communication is possible, but outside of that range, their is a time lag depending on how distant the receiver is to the sender. This can be combatted with the deployment of subspace relay buoys that act as a booster to subspace messages and allow better communication. (VOY episode: "Message in a Bottle") An unusual hybrid starship encountered by the USS Enterprise-D in 2370 was remote controlled via subspace signals. (TNG comic: "Strategy")
- Subspace communication was mainly used by Starfleet Command to transmit orders to commanding officers of starships on deep-space assignments. Likewise, the vessels' commanding officers used subspace communication to relay reports on their various missions back to Starfleet Command, to ask for suggestions, and/or to make requests. (ENT: "Shockwave"; TOS: "Balance of Terror" ; Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds" ; VOY: "Friendship One"; et al.) Depending on the actual distance between a vessel and the nearest subspace relay beacon, real-time communication was possible. An example of this is when Starfleet Lieutenant Reginald Barclay contacted the USS Enterprise-E, which was seven light years away from his location on the Jupiter Station, and spoke real-time to the ship's counselor, Commander Deanna Troi. (VOY: "Life Line") Subspace communications had a varying degree of band frequencies, from upper (or high-band) to lower. For example, a diplomatic frequency used by the Vulcans was on a lower subspace band. (ENT: "Fallen Hero", "Dead Stop"; TNG: "Ensign Ro" ) Vulcans had been utilizing subspace communications as early as the Earth year 1957, as their ships were outfitted with subspace transceivers. (ENT: "Carbon Creek") The Treaty of Armens set down EM spectrum communication as one of a number of acceptable means of communications between the Federation and the Sheliak Corporate in case something came up regarding the treaty. (TNG: "The Ensigns of Command" , okudagram)
