Transmat

Transmat (short for transmitter of matter or matter transmitter) is a common form of technological form of instantaneous transport.

Transmat technology requires a beam. Either the beam, containing a disassembled person or object gets, relayed between between two points like a television or radio signal (DW: The Mutants onwards), or else a transmat beam sent from another location does the transportation. (DW: Bad Wolf)


 * We do not know if a transmat beam can or cannot travel faster than light.

Mawdryn and his people used transmat capsules. (DW: Mawdryn Undead)


 * The transmat capsules may have transported themselves. This remains unclear.
