Handheld Radio
A Handheld Transceiver, also known as a Handheld Radio, is a portable communication device that functions as a short-range two-way radio transceiver. These devices are commonly used to establish communication with individuals who are too far away for direct interaction. The transceivers are equipped with a graphene battery, which provides extended usage times and is known for its durability and energy efficiency. Additionally, they can be configured for hands-free operation by utilizing a bone conduction earpiece, allowing users to communicate without the need to hold the device.
The handheld radio device was originally engineered and developed by the Dragonguard Alliance in the period just preceding the Draconian War. It played a crucial role in their operational activities, serving as a primary means of communication and coordination. Notably, they also provided their Ancient Dragonkin allies with handless bone conduction earpieces to facilitate direct, secure communication with them in the field.
Utility
When handheld radios were first developed, they were primarily used in urban areas by the Dragonguard to safeguard the city and to communicate potential threats to other guards. However, with advancements in technology, the concept evolved into bone conduction headphones. Over time, handheld radios became more accessible to the general public. Today, they are extensively utilized across various industries where portable radio communication is essential, including logistics, construction, public safety, and military operations. This widespread usage has significantly enhanced communication and coordination in these sectors.
Handheld radios are particularly advantageous due to their short-ranged nature, making it possible to use them discreetly without alerting anyone within range of the signal. With numerous channels available for both transmission and reception, these devices offer versatility and efficiency. The Dragongaurd utilizes a proprietary channel exclusively accessible to them, ensuring that the public cannot intercept communications on this particular channel.
In remote locations, the Dragonbane Order heavily relies on handheld radios to facilitate communication. However, in urban settings, they exercise caution and limit the use of these devices.
