|
| ==Overview==
| | The '''Hardened Uplink''' ('''HUL''') is an external helmet attachment compatible with helmet variants of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]].{{Ref/Game|Game=HR|Section=Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|SectionLinkText=Armory}} |
| ===Specification===
| |
| As their name suggests, the Hardened Uplink is a device that establishes and provides the operator with a communications link to a satellite. Improved modules are designated as HUL-I (Hardened UpLink-Improved).{{Ref/Reuse|flamingo}} Modules designated with the "BNR" suffix (meaning "battlenet relay") also serve a relay for the [[UNSC battle network]].{{Ref/Game|Id=echelon|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=HUL[5X]/BNR/ECHELON - Helmet Attachment Description|Quote=High-power battlenet relay with the latest in electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) to "burn" through active jamming and signal flooding techniques employed by Insurrection and Covenant remnant forces.}} Two other suffixes (ENIT and XFTREC) exist, though their specific functions are unspecified. The hardened uplink is commonly used for the acquisition of military intelligence,{{Ref/Game|Id=milint|HR|Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|Armory|Detail=Mark V[B], CQC, EOD, Operator, EVA, Security & CQB - UA/HUL Helmet Descripvtions|Quote=Up-armored variant with hardened uplink module for MILINT acquisition.}} and can be integrated into other helmet attachments, like the [[Command Network Module]].{{Ref/Game|Id=cnm5|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=CNM(5)/BNR/FASCINATOR - Helmet Attachment Description|Quote=Known to ONI by the codename "FASCINATOR", the AN/PCK-440 "pick four-forty" is a fifth-generation hardened uplink rarely seen outside of UNSC special forces.}} The device can also be integrated with [[remote sensor]]s into [[hardened uplink/remote sensor package|a single package]].

| ===Usage===
| | ==Usage== |
| The hardened uplink was in use in as early as the [[Colonial Military Authority]] era.{{Ref/Game|Id=origo|HINF|Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Armor Hall|Detail=HUL/BNR/ORIGO - Helmet Attachment Description|Quote=CMA-era battlenet link, cleverly upgraded in the field to work with contemporary mesh networks.}} Different modules are adopted by various branches and roles within the UNSC.
