The term is often used to refer to the name for radio communications systems of [[UNSC]] units. COM allows instantaneous contact between people, ships and [[military base]]s. There are any number of COM frequencies for any number of tasks. COM systems are standard equipment in all armor systems, as well as vehicles and ships. Many human colonies have networks of [[communication relay]]s to serve as links to orbiting satellites and relay communications between colonies.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[Noble Actual]]''</ref> | The term is often used to refer to the name for radio communications systems of [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] units.

'''SQUADCOM''': Frequencies reserved for use among small units in a specific area. Squadcom has a very small range, it is usually intended to be broadcast over short distances. Usually, radio-communications that take place in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' occur over a SQUADCOM. | '''SQUADCOM''': Frequencies reserved for use among small units in a specific area.

'''SATCOM''': Short for Satellite Communication. Frequencies reserved for communications with orbiting satellites, sometimes to relay information to orbiting ships, sometimes for communicating with people or units in another section of the planet.

'''E-BAND''': Emergency broadcast channel.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 159''</ref> Little-used public frequency. After the fall of Reach, [[Anton-044]] used the E-Band to transmit a signal of [[Oly Oly Oxen Free]]. It was also used by the UNSC forces on Onyx to notify [[Lord Hood]]'s Reinforcements of their position.
