PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Manufacturer: Confederacy
Model: XZ-77 “Buster” Communications Device
Affiliation: The Confederacy
Modularity: No
Production: Minor
Material: Duraplast, communication components, protected circuitry
SPECIAL FEATURES
EMP Resistant – It can take minor emp and ion damage.
Able to break through most jamming – This comm unit is able to break through the majority of jamming, due to its mix of traditional and radionics communications abilities.
Able to reach through metal and rock – When deep underground, or trying to punch through thick metals, this comm unit has the power to make it happen and get the communication through.
Strengths:
Resistant: Able to shrug off light emp/ion attacks
Breaks Through Jamming: The mix of traditional and radonic communications allows the device to go through a wide range of channels, making jamming of it quite difficult.
Communication Power Booster: It has advanced communication boosting technology, allowing it to be used under ground, through heavy metals, and the like, giving it a long range, and the ability to get the signal through.
Weaknesses:
Fragile: While the duraplast case provides some defense, it's not designed to take direct damage, so if hit, dropped, thrown, without some other type of protection around it, it will be destroyed.
Encryption: The device itself does not provide more than the most basic of encryption, as such, to truly safe guard communications, it must be paired with another device, such as the LK Hermes.
Designed for Planet/orbital use only: It's communications travel at the speed of light, which makes it very useful on a planet, or its immediate vicinity, however, its not able to communicate quickly for anything beyond that.
DESCRIPTION
This comm unit was designed for CIS troops, to overcome the issue of battle field confusion by being able to break through jamming, and heavy walls, or deep underground. It does this by being able to utilize a mixture of traditional communications and radionics, which gives it a wide range of frequencies to transmit on, making it difficult to isolate and jam whatever one is currently being used. A powerful signal booster was added to the unit, making it have a lot more power than normal, so that it can pierce through armor, walls, and underground areas with ease.Its use of insulated electronics, and a small duraplast shell, allows it to have some defense against EMP and ion attacks, unlike many types of technology. However, it wasn't designed to be armor, so if one manages to target and strike it with almost any type of other attack, it would be destroyed. Also, sadly, because of the nature of Radionics, the transmission only travels at the speed of light, making it useless at any range beyond a planetary and planetary orbit scale. The device also has only the most basic of encryption devices installed to it, relying on outside encryption devices and algorithms to secure it's communication channels.
