carrier
One who conveys
A carrier is someone or something that transports goods or people—a mail carrier, an aircraft carrier, a common carrier like a trucking company.
In medicine and genetics, a carrier harbors a disease or gene without showing symptoms: She's a carrier of the sickle cell trait.
Telecommunications carriers provide phone or internet service.
In physics and electronics, a carrier wave transmits a signal.
