Radio communications between pilots and ATC. "Over" at the end of a communication is a way of telling the receiving party that the communication is ended, and requesting an acknowledgement. Example:
Controller to pilot: "November One One Three Romeo, Climb and maintain niner thousand feet, over."
Pilot: "November One One Three Romeo will climb to niner thousand and maintain, over."
"Over and Out" means that the entire conversation is finished:
Example:
Controller: "November One One Three Romeo, contact SoCal Approach one two six point one, over."
Pilot: "Contact SoCal Approach one two six point one, have a nice day, over and out."
The controller knows from the "out" that the pilot has switched to the new frequency and that there will be no further communications with him on the former frequency.

Over and out is used by people communicating by radio.
Over means that the information has been sent or transmitted over.
&
Out is used so that one party knew that the other was finished (or signing out) with what they were communicating.

military -radiospeak. over means you are done with the current transmission you are sending and out means you are signing off the radio and will not make further transmissions
