The ultimate combination of a portable communicator and Hand Computer that interfaces directly with any wireless communications system and wireless computer network. This small and lightweight device can operate independently as a Handcomp, as a video Communicator, or as a programmable communications node in a networked system. With the audio processing algorithm installed, the Commcomp can accept voice programming and can be used to operate any device on the network as long as the proper codes are used.
Commcomps have internal Fuel Cells and usually have internal hydrogen and oxygen supplies so that they can operate in a vacuum or other environment. The Commcomp will preferentially draw from any external power source, and with the proper adapter and a source of water (distilled liquid water or even humid air for specialized adapters) they can recharge the internal hydrogen and oxygen supplies. Without recharging a TL–11 Commcomp will run for about a week, and more sophisticated units can be made to run longer or have greater communications range or computational capacity.
