Hologlide J57 Cam Droid

Cam droids, or hovercams, are small, relatively simple droids equipped with repulsorlifts and recording devices. Used to record news, sports and entertainment events, as well as for security, cam droids are a common sight throughout the galaxy. As such, they are also ideal for scouting and espionage purposes, able to go virtually anywhere without drawing undo attention. While some cam droids are highly intelligent and capable of autonomous action, most are simple devices. Most cam droids can broadcast whatever they record in real-time, up to a distance of several kilometers, allowing the holovids to be rebroadcast or viewed by a remote operator.

PTP Link

 A PTP (or point-to-point) link is a multichannel personal communications device capable of transmitting audio signals up to twenty-five kilometers. Available in a wide variety of sizes and styles, PTP links were used extensively during the time of the Republic. As more powerful methods of telecommunications grew popular, PTP links became obsolete.

Despite the obsolescence of PTP links, PTP transmission boosters and relays were installed on a number of Core Worlds, and they are still used exclusively on low-tech worlds the galaxy over. Because most modern communications devices are unable to pick up PTP transmissions, the Rebel Alliance often uses them in order to avoid Imperial eavesdropping. With the addition of PTP encryption devices, which can cost up to 1,000 credits, this archaic transmission format is almost undetectable. #### <font size=1>Please see page 111 of the Strongholds of Resistance Sourcebook for details.

Integrated Public Address System

For instances when a full-fledged stage set-up is unavailable, various corporations offer a lightweight, portable speaker system that provides the necessary degree of amplification for public address. The system consists of a stand, microphone receiver, several speakers, and a power pack, all stored neatly in the backpack carrying case that can also be used as an impromptu soapbox from which to speak. Precise optimization enables the power supply to keep the unit operating for one hour before requiring a recharge.

Models include: Alvaxi "Impetus" PA-wear, TaggeCo. Broadcaster.
