A homing transponder

A homing transponder is a piece of technology that dramatically enhances transporter effectiveness and range.

In 2375, a transponder was used to transport Kira Nerys more than ten light years to Empok Nor. (DS9: "Covenant")

It is likely that Eris, a Vorta who attempted to infiltrate Deep Space 9 by pretending to be a refugee, was wearing a transponder when she was beamed off the station in 2370. Upon beaming out of the operations center there, she left no trace or indication of where she had gone. (DS9: "The Jem'Hadar")
