Data Communication: Meaning, Components, Types, & Uses

Every day, we send and receive data without even thinking about it. You send WhatsApp messages, join Zoom meetings, open web pages, and pay. You can also scan QR codes to make payments quickly and easily. These things happen because devices can share information with each other easily. This sharing of information between devices is called data communication. In simple words, it means sending information from one device to another. The medium it uses can be Wi-Fi, cables, or mobile networks to carry the data properly.
