The communicator is the central piece of Solas Tempus equipment given to any and all Solas Tempus employees, contractors, personnel, and even citizens of the Serenity Concord. It is designed to provide effective and easy to use communications for the user across BlueNet and similar subspace, mirowave, and conventional radio networks. The feature set was scaled back considerably from the earlier design to make a more effective unit and balance out several issues. This third generation device has made some significant improvements over previous designs.

Capabilities

The system can accept multiple onboard computer core types. Solas Tempus personnel and contractors are able to optionally install an Encapsulated Computer Core which may have any number of extensive AI Software packages installed on it. The standard installation of this type of core is to have a HAL 9000 system installed. In this mode the system maintains a link with HAL via BlueNet. A custom Encapsulated Computer Core can install a QUINN AI, provided the AI grants permission for such. Civilian installations are capable of having an ALICE Interface installed. They may also have an LCARS holographic interface installed to the system for simplest operation and lowest power consumption. The core module is hot-swappable and thus there are additional customized cores for both civilian and military use.

Communications

The communicator has multiple methods of communication.

  • Subspace (Preferred Method /w Connection to BlueNet or other networks)
  • Microwave (Primarily Terrestrial)
  • EM Radio (Primarily Terrestrial)
  • UV Laser Pulse (Line of Sight Required)

Beacons

  • Emergency Beacon
Triggered automatically by life signs monitoring, when life signs fall to critical levels.
Triggered if emergency transporter node is activated.
  • Transdimensional Beacon (Military Only)
Feature is protected and must be activated by the Janus Gate during gate-entry.
  • Locator Beacon
Feature can be activated by the user or not, designed to flag the users for transporter lock on when traditional methods have failed.
Can also be used to locate the user or device when traditional methods fail.
The user can also remote-activate this feature.

Temporal Retrieval Beacon (Military Only)

A new type of beacon is equipped in this particular model has built into a special kind of beacon which can call to Starbase Pandora for an emergency temporal extraction. This beacon also goes two ways, a Temporal Operative can also be remotely retrieved using this beacon as long as they are wearing the communicator on their person.

Utilities

  • Holographic Projector
Short range model, does not provide any subspace to the hologram (there is no magnetic containment field to provide a physical surface to the hologram).
Supports a single holographic construct at a time, runs in low-power mode by default providing a translucent holographic projection.
Hologram is limited to rough line of sight and 30 meters max range of projection. That is 30 meters in any direction without major obstruction such as a wall or closed door.
  • Life Signs Monitor
Must be in physical contact with the skin of the user.
  • Authentication Scanner
Can scan multiple methods to identify the wearer is the registered user.
Scans DNA, heat signature, bone structure, fingerprints (if finger is pressed to screen), and retina pattern (if user looks directly at the screen as directed).
  • Short Range Wide-Band Scanner
Simple EM/Subspace scanner, low resolution compared to that of a Tricorder or other specialized device.
  • Pattern Buffer
Pattern storage buffer, capable of storing a total mass of 525 kg stored with molecular resolution.
Cannot store quantum resolution matter stream for more than a few hours (depends on stream complexity and mass).
  • Emergency Transporter Node (Military Only)
Short range, unidirectional, single person transport up to 5km distance.
If able to the system will signal for external transport to preserve power.
Automatically activates emergency beacons.
Erases sufficient contents of pattern storage buffer to allow for transport.

Deflection Buckler (Military Only)

The device's band has been put to use, affixed tot the arm of the wearer the tritanium mesh is embedded with a focused deflector shield emitter. When activated the mesh band produces a tightly focused deflector field around 18 cm in diameter focused on the forearm. The shield can withstand a small number (between 2-8) high powered physical impacts and a smaller number (between 1-5) high energy beam impacts.

The cost on the devices's power reserves is significant and only its basic features continue to work while such a drain is in operation.

Power Source

This new Mark 3 device is powered by a revolutionary new Spacial Variance Reactor which draws power from verteron particles as they pass between subspace barriers. As such the device's power supply is theoretically limitless while inside normal space. The energy is passed through an series of amplification coils which increase the particle pressure inside the reactor itself building up sufficient power for the device.

Since the power supply has a continuous energy supply, the reactor has a built in battery or energy buffer to both operate in the event of a power drop off or allow the device to recharge itself in the event that the entire reactor output is required.
