Supports transmit/receive devices (radio, telephone, VoIP).
Devices can be as small as a link between two specific devices or as large as infrastructure support systems.


Operating Considerations: Careful consideration must be given to how channels are interconnected. A significant knowledge of the systems to be linked is required.
