Quantum entanglement would make a lot of sense, combined with a peer-to-peer mesh networking system... A shame if you ask me. All too neat! Untappable and completely secure... @Sara: Interesting- thanks for the information! Quantum entanglement would make a lot of sense, combined with a peer-to-peer mesh networking system…

Every ship has a quantum pair communicator, which can transmit instantly across any distance to the other communicator in it's pair. The stations act as massive communicator repositories and network hubs connecting you to everyone else and all the other stations. Distance is a non-factor in quantum pair communication so it will work just fine in w-space for your normal channels. However, in theory, the systems probably don't have dedicated channels since they haven't been mapped out, so it's working solely off the routine of retransmitting anything you send out to ships it detects to be in close proximity to you.
