PALM LINK
The "Link" is the standard personal communications device
issued to all Earthforce military personnel and civilian contractors
working on Earth Alliance Military instillation since 2250. The
Link provided Earthforce personnel with a voice-only connection
to all Inter/Intra instillation communication networks and computer/security
systems, whether onboard a space station, colony, outpost or starship. Broadcast signals are coded and isolated to specific systems to
prevent signal hacking and an individual Link can only
be used by a single person. Security against theft includes a molecular
bonding, DNA coded surface that attaches and adheres to a person's
skin and thus ensures that only that person can use that specific
Link for communication purposes. Links also provide access to confidential security system, voice
computer access, basic system controls and can even be used a location/tracked
system to find injured personnel. As a Link contains up to seven
Terabytes of information, Earthforce issued links also contain information
about the user, including molecular/DNA code system as well as basic
"dog-tag" information on a given user. Links use a plasma electric battery with a half-life of six years,
with a 6000 Mhz nanoprocessor, with an infrared transceiver
capable of broadcasting on a multi-ban frequency ranging from low
gain radio to high frequency microwave communications. Link uses
a liquid matrix speaker with a lightwave pressure microphone that
can be accesses via voice only or touch pad controls. Links are almost impossible to hack if stolen, due to built in internal safety systems and the need for high skill micro-circuitry engineering equipment. While it is extremely difficult to hack a Link, it is not impossible and Earthforce personal should report any stolen link immediately to the proper authorities.
