The process by which information, messages, data, or signals are transmitted or forwarded from one place, person, or device to another.

This noun is derived from the verb 'übermitteln' (to transmit). The ending '-ung' turns the verb into a feminine noun that describes the process or result of the action.
Die Übermittlung von Nachrichten dauert heute nur Sekunden.
The transmission of messages takes only seconds today.
'Übermittlung' (transmission) is a formal word used mainly in written language, in official documents, or in technical contexts, for example in data transmission or administration.
Für die Übermittlung sensibler Dokumente wird eine Verschlüsselung empfohlen.
Encryption is recommended for the transmission of sensitive documents.
Common combinations are 'die Übermittlung von Daten' (the transmission of data), 'von Informationen' (of information), or 'von Nachrichten' (of messages). Adjectives that are often used include 'sicher' (secure), 'schnell' (fast), or 'elektronisch' (electronic).
Die elektronische Übermittlung der Steuererklärung spart Zeit und Papier.
The electronic transmission of the tax return saves time and paper.
To say what is being transmitted, the genitive is often used. This structure is typical of formal or written contexts.
Die Übermittlung der Wahlergebnisse an die Zentrale ist abgeschlossen.
The transmission of the election results to headquarters has been completed.
communication
'die Kommunikation' and 'die Übermittlung' both have to do with information. 'die Kommunikation' usually means exchange between people or groups: people speak, write, and respond to one another. 'die Übermittlung' emphasizes more that a message, data, or signals are passed on from one place to another. This can be personal, but also technical. Learners may confuse the words because communication often also involves transmitting information. When mutual exchange is important, 'Kommunikation' fits better. When the transport of information is important, 'Übermittlung' is more precise.
Die Übermittlung der Daten dauerte wegen der schlechten Verbindung sehr lange.
The transmission of the data took a very long time because of the poor connection.
