What is Relay Broadcasting?

In a relay broadcast, the originator fax unit sends a document over a long distance to another fax called the relay unit. After the relay unit receives your document, it automatically sends the document to several other fax units in the local area. In this way you can send a document to several fax units in the same locality with only one long distance transmission.
