Also known as a "comm" or "link", a commlink is an electronic device that is part-PDA, part-personal computer, part-cyberterminal, and part-global communications device. It serves as the gateway for the average user to both the Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality of the Wireless Matrix. Commlinks also serve as the hub for a user's Personal Area Network, the link between all of the electronic devices on one's body. The processing power of the 2070 commlink rivals that of the cyberterminals and cyberdecks of the previous generation of electronics. Commlinks came into widespread use after the implementation of the Wireless Matrix following the Matrix Crash 2.0.
