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 travel faster than light, however the ability of Dalek transmats to transport people from Earth to the Dalek Imperial fleet at the edge of the Sol system suggests that some may be able to. (DW: Bad Wolf)

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


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