- No One Dares Give Me the Raspberry - The Windtalker is powerful enough to cut through conventional broad scale communications jammers. While less effective at overcoming targeted electronic warfare, signal boosters allow military units to penetrate signal interference...most of the time.
- No Roaming Fees - Signal boosters don't just cut through interference, they also increase communications range considerably. A unit with a Windtalker operator can stay in contact with command elements from adjacent star systems while on the move.
- Fashion Don't - The Windtalker is bulky, cumbersome, and sticks out like a sore wampa. Carrying one through battle requires high physical endurance, and makes the operator a priority target for the enemy as soon as they understand the signal booster's capabilities.
- But What About Second Breakfast - Carrying a signal booster means ditching a lot of gear that soldiers might consider essential. It takes the place of backpack/satchel, meaning the only extra supplies a Windtalker operator can carry are limited to whatever fits on their belt.
An older SoroSuub military product still in circulation, the Windtalker was built to counteract Sith-Imperial advancements in communications jamming and electronic warfare technology. Although not a perfect solution, signal booster operators embedded in combat units allow for troopers to remain in contact with their comrades and superiors even through broad spectrum subspace interference.
