The systems, methods, and equipment used to transmit and receive information, such as telephone, radio, and internet networks. / The professional practice of managing the exchange of information between an organization and its public or stakeholders. / The physical means of travel or transport, such as roads, railways, and shipping lanes, that connect different places.

noun (plural)

pl: communications

This term is used almost exclusively in the plural when referring to technical systems or professional fields. While "communication" (singular) refers to the abstract act of exchanging information, "communications" refers to the tangible infrastructure, hardware, and organized systems that make that exchange possible.

In a corporate or governmental context, it denotes a specific department or strategic function responsible for public relations and messaging. When used in a geographical or military sense, it refers to the physical arteries of transport and connectivity, such as roads or signal lines, emphasizing the network rather than a single connection.
