communicator
One who connects
A communicator is someone who conveys information or ideas to others.
The word often carries judgment about skill: She's an effective communicator, He's a poor communicator.
In science fiction, a communicator is a handheld device for speaking across distances—the term popularized by Star Trek before mobile phones made the concept ordinary.
