- Capable of detecting, monitoring, intercepting, and decoding various types of signal transmissions, making any ship or vehicle it is mounted on to act as a ‘mobile listening station’.
- Able to broadcast and receive hyperwave communications, allowing for exceptional range and power, even transmitting (in most cases) through rock and sheets of metal.
- Exceptionally difficult to slice into, and immune to all but the most powerful jamming systems, the WhisperSpy ensures encrypted and clear communications and data transmissions at blisteringly near-instant speeds.
- Able to detect, intercept, monitor, and decipher a broad range of communications, allowing ships and vehicles where it is used to act as ‘mobile listening posts’.
- Powerful transmitters and signal boosting make the WhisperSpy capable of clear, near-real-time communications across vast distances.
- Difficult to slice into, virtually immune to most jamming, and hardened against EMP/Ion disruptions, the WhisperSpy is a reliable system even under the most strenuous and challenging circumstances.
- Heavy jamming systems like those found aboard very large military-grade ships (ex.: SSDs) can still disrupt communications.
- Some particularly encrypted and ‘stealthy’ communications can evade detection/monitoring or withstand decryption, such as those particularly obscure languages, signal types, etc.
- While capable of penetrating rock/mineral formations and through various types of metals, signals may not always get through and may be broken or corrupted in some cases in spite of making through.
- Too large/heavy to be used by dismounted troops, even those using powered armor, it must be used aboard vehicles or ships.
Powerful communications system is ideal for military vehicles and starships, as it is immune to all but the most powerful jamming/disruption systems and is capable of delivering a strong, near-instant signal over terrific distances, even through most rock/mineral formations and metallic barriers. Furthermore, it possesses notable encryption capabilities and is very difficult to slice, intercept, or decode, making secure communications almost a ‘given’ in any circumstance. However, the most impressive feature of the WhisperSpy is its ability to transform vehicles and ships it is used aboard into ‘mobile listening posts’, capable of detecting, intercepting, monitoring, and decoding enemy transmissions. Using the WhisperSpy, allied forces can create ‘communications nets’, able to penetrate enemy signals and communications for espionage and pre-emptive actions.
Still vulnerable to exceptionally powerful signal jamming/disruption by massive systems of this kind used aboard SSDs or similar-level systems, the WhisperSpy can also be disrupted by rare mineral deposits and hardened armor systems. Also, particularly ‘stealthy’ communications can still avoid detection or encryption, especially those using very obscure languages or signal types.
