data transmission
The technical process in which digital or analog data is sent from one place to another. This can happen between computers, over networks such as the internet, or via radio.

The word consists of 'Daten' (data, plural, here in the sense of information) and 'Übertragung' (transmission). 'Übertragung' itself comes from the verb 'übertragen' (to transmit/transfer), which means 'to bring from one place to another.'
Die Übertragung der Daten dauert nur wenige Sekunden.
The transmission of the data takes only a few seconds.
'Datenübertragung' (data transmission) is a technical term from technology, especially IT and telecommunications. You often find it in instructions, contracts, or technical descriptions.
In Ihrem Mobilfunkvertrag finden Sie die Details zur mobilen Datenübertragung.

The quality of data transmission is often described with adjectives. Typical examples are 'schnelle' (fast), 'langsame' (slow), 'sichere' (secure), 'mobile' (mobile), or 'verschlüsselte' (encrypted) Datenübertragung.

communication
'die Kommunikation' and 'die Datenübertragung' can both have to do with sending information in technical contexts. But 'Kommunikation' is more general and can also mean people, conversations, and the whole exchange. 'Datenübertragung' is more precisely technical: data is sent from one place, device, or system to another. Learners may confuse the words when talking about the internet, networks, or computers. A simple rule of thumb is: people communicate, systems transmit data; in technology, communication can be the broader framework.
