A communication partner is a person, organisation or entity with whom a communication or exchange of information takes place. In any form of communication, there are at least two parties: the sender and the receiver. The sender is the person or party who transmits information, messages or news, while the receiver is the person or party who receives and interprets that information.
A communication partner can occur in a variety of contexts, including:
Human communication: In everyday life, communication partners are often people who speak, write or otherwise exchange information with each other. This can occur in face-to-face conversations, business negotiations, written communication via email or social media.
Organisations: Businesses, governments, non-profit organisations and other institutions can also be communication partners. They communicate with their customers, employees, stakeholders and the public to disseminate information, build relationships and achieve their goals.
Technological systems: In technology, communication partners can also be computer-based systems or devices that exchange information with each other. This can be the case, for example, in network communication systems, internet protocols or IoT (Internet of Things) applications.
