Design
Designed to fit on the wrist, the leather cuff has a unique ID embossed on the back and the front, the first two numbers indicate unit (0-F) the division (0-F) of that branch. Then a unique ID of 6 characters (0-9, A-Z) designating the person in that unit and division that the communicator is assigned to. This code is encoded into the temporal beacon and its emergency transponder which are both coded to broadcast to the devices time of origin.
Operation
The front face displays information as a series of LED sequences and is touch sensitive to adjust settings or signal filters using the LED interface.
The holographic projector is used to project more complex interface controls as well as visual overlays onto static objects.
