Capabilities

The stats given are primarily for the military version, though functionality marked with an asterisks (*) denote functions only available to Solas Tempus. This device is designed to combat deployment and is capable of withstanding high speed impacts of up to 5.5 kN for up to 3 seconds. While not as capable as its larger cousin, it focuses on communication and scanning. Resolution suffers somewhat, as does sheer processing power. The device has a single ECC to provide computing power as well as a single SVR providing electrical power. The device does have a simple holographic imager, which is capable of producing a low-power holographic interface no more than 16 cm from the screen. It does not have any high resolution holographic imaging system.

Data Processing

The system is designed to handle and coordinate multiple dynamic data streams simultaneously from remote sensing, library computer access, and internal sensing systems.

AI Usage

The device is capable of handling a Type 3 Multinodal Core, though it is not a standard component there is a dedicated slot for such a device within the unit.

Communications

The system is capable of handling multiple high bandwidth subspace, RF, and tachyon data links with multiple external computer systems simultaneously. The device can be in a passive mode, accessing remote data and displaying requested information or in an active mode where it manages and relays information between remote systems and itself. Normally the unit maintains an active data link with BlueNet to allow near-instantaneous relaying of information.

Development

Developed under special contract for specific needs of Solas Tempus by Damien Smith. The device became standard for use in emergency kits, combat gear, and other situations in 2386. A civilian model was developed as well as a military model, both have reduced functionality compared to the Solas Tempus model.
