Both Installation 04 and Installation 05 were equipped with teleportation grids, allowing their [[Monitor]]s to reach vital areas rapidly, and supervise their Sentinel charges. [[Onyx]]  also possessed a teleportation grid.  

[[Installation 04|Installation 04's]] teleportation grid, was used extensively during the course of the [[Battle of Installation 04]]. The Installations [[Monitor]], [[343 Guilty Spark]], first encountered the [[Master Chief]] outside of a [[Flood Research Facility]], and used the Teleportation Grid to transport them to the Installation's Library, in order to retrieve the [[Activation Index]]<ref>''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)]]</ref>. After the Index was retrieved, the Monitor used the grid again to transport the two of them to the [[Control Room]] to activate the Halo Array<ref>''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', [[The Library (Level)]]</ref>. During the Master Chief's efforts to neutralize the Installation's primary firing sequence, [[Cortana]] tapped into the teleportation grid, using his [[Mjolnir#MJOLNIR Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR]] armor's fusion reactor to power a single jump, to a [[Truth and Reconciliation|downed Covenant cruiser]]<ref>''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', [[Two Betrayals]]</ref>; however, Cortana's relative inexperience with the grid resulted in reorientation difficulties<ref>''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', [[Keyes (Level)]]</ref>.

[[Installation 05|Installation 05's]] teleportation grid was unavailable during the [[Battle of Installation 05]] as it was being controlled by the [[Gravemind]] (formed beneath that Installation's Library facility) through the Installation's captured Monitor, 2401 Penitent Tangent. Managing to ensnare both the [[Master Chief]] and the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]], it formed a tentative alliance with the two enemies in order to stop the rings activation - teleporting the [[Master Chief]] aboard [[High Charity]]<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', [[Gravemind (Level)]]</ref>, in orbit above the Installation, and the Arbiter near to the Control Room.<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', [[Uprising (Level)]]</ref> The fact that it didn't, or couldn't, use the same grid to teleport its own Flood Combat Forms to those locations indicates that use of it is restricted to non-Flood lifeforms and constructs.<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', [[High Charity (Level)]]</ref>

The [[Shield World]] [[Onyx]] also possessed a teleportation grid, used by [[Doctor Halsey]] to transport the Spartan IIs and IIIs to a safe area, away from Covenant activity. Later, she used it to send Spartan teams to disable a Sentinel production factory before transporting them again to the center of the planet, where a portal leading to a [[Micro Dyson Sphere]] was found. They then used the Sphere as a shelter from the Covenant army invading the facility<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''</ref>.
