communication system
<communications> A system or facility capable of providing information
transfer between persons and equipment. The system usually consists of a
collection of individual communication networks, transmission systems, relay
stations, tributary stations, and terminal equipment capable of interconnection
and interoperation so as to form an integrated whole. These individual
components must serve a common purpose, be technically compatible, employ common
procedures, respond to some form of control, and generally operate in unison.
