An electronic device that is essential for communication between devices is a **network switch**.
A network switch connects various devices within a local area network (LAN), allowing them to communicate with each other. It uses packet switching to forward data to the correct destination on the network.
Other examples of devices used for communication between devices include:
1. **Router**: Connects multiple networks, directing data traffic between them and allowing devices to access the internet.
2. **Modem**: Modulates and demodulates signals for transmitting data over telephone lines or cable.
3. **Access Point**: Allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi.
4. **Hub**: A basic device that connects multiple Ethernet devices, making them act as a single network segment, although it is less efficient than a switch since it broadcasts data to all ports.
Each of these devices serves a specific purpose in facilitating communication between devices in different types of networks.
