I have a question for any those more knowledgeable forum members out there regarding communications devices and computers in A:2089. The main rulebook describes that a hand computer operates as a phone so I assume it can link with the internet using a mobile phone signal.
In your opinion do hand computers or portable computers and their military equivalents use only phone signals or would they have a radio link or equivalent like a Mek comms processor ? Can they be used to conduct electronic warfare or do they need to be linked to a communications device? What frequency would they likely operate on (and what would their equivalent bandwidth be?).
I work off the idea that they have a standard cell phone modem for accessing the inernet. They would then need to be interfaced through a different device to be able to use radio signals, laser communicators, etc. for more secure links. Does this sound realistic.
