transceivers
Send-and-receive devices
Transceivers are devices that both transmit and receive signals—the word blends transmitter and receiver.
Radio transceivers send and receive radio waves; network transceivers handle data over cables or fiber optics.
The term appears in telecommunications, computing, and amateur radio: The walkie-talkie is a simple handheld transceiver.
