}}MASERS''' ('''M'''icrowave '''A'''mplification by '''S'''imulated '''E'''mission of '''R'''adiation) are the primary method of communication on [[UNSC]] starships. Factually, they are devices which emit microwave radiation. They were first referred to in [[Halo: Contact Harvest|''Halo: Contact Harvest'']], where the DCS cargo freighters, the [[Tiara]] and [[Mack]]'s data center use the devices. They are effective short-range devices (planet to planet), but are too slow to be effectively used over longer distances. They are almost identical to the cellphone technology today.

-'''Masers''' are the primary method of communication on [[UNSC]] starships and orbital platforms. They operate by means of emitting microwave radiation; the word "maser" was originally derived from the acronym ''Microwave Amplification by Simulated Emission of Radiation''. Masers are effective for short-range, interplanetary communications, but as they are limited to the speed of light, they are too slow to be effectively used over interstellar distances.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 25''</ref>
