transceiver
This term is a portmanteau of transmitter and receiver, used primarily in technical, engineering, and telecommunications contexts. It describes a hardware component that handles bidirectional communication, distinguishing it from a dedicated transmitter or a standalone receiver.
In professional registers, it is used to describe everything from small integrated circuits in smartphones to large-scale satellite equipment. It is rarely used in casual conversation unless the speaker is discussing specific hardware specifications or radio operations.
