Comlink

In science fiction, a comlink (or com link) is a small, hand-held personal communications transceiver. It consists of a receiver, a transmitter, and a small power source. Comlinks vary in size and configuration. Their appearances vary from hand-held cylinders, to flat, wrist-mounted units, to units incorporated into armored helmets. Sometimes, comlinks have ports for transmitting data gathered by other devices.

Comlinks are frequently used for explaining fast-as-light or faster-than-light communication in science fiction stories where such communication is necessary.
