Asynchronous+Communications


 * Asynchronous commuication** is generally known as the exchange of data or information between two devices that are not in sync (synchronized) with each other through a clocking mechanism or other technique. Essentially the person sending data can do this at any given time, whilst the person on the recieving end should be ready to accept the information when it 'arrives'. For example: email, voicemail or text messaging.

In contrast, synchronous transmission is a precisely timed stream of bits wherein the beginning of a character is located by using a clocking mechanism. Synchronous transmissions are used as data links between large systems that transfer large amounts of information on a frequent basis.
