Situation
Military forces often need to be able to communicate with each other over both short and long range. Most modern systems use a push-to-talk or voice activated system, in which when I need to communicate, I initiate communication and then the signal is transmitted. This works well, but the duration of the transmission is the time taken to talk and this has an inherent disadvantage in that the signal can be tracked. The last thing that a covert operations team needs is to be tracked.
Solution
When the actor uses the system, their speech is buffered in the system, so until the communication has finished, there is no transmission. Then when the speech is complete the data (and we are assuming digital data at this point) will be compressed and transmitted out at the highest data rate possible. There is no reason why the data cannot be encrypted or otherwise disseminated.
This ensures that the window of detection is as short as possible. This kind of system is ideal for situations in which a two way conversation is not needed, as there will always be a delay between the start of the conversation and the reception by the recipient.
We can use such a system to communicate with other locations via satellite or point to point with specific individuals or groups using an addressing system in which only the intended recipients recieving equipment passess along the message stream its user.
This system works equally for voice as it does data as the voice traffic is converted into data before transmission.
That should get you started…
