Company Net

Company Net is a Radio channel, transmitted and received on the 148/152 long-range radio. It is dedicated to communications between the various units making up a Company (typically an Infantry Company). Support units that are not dedicated to a specific Platoon (such as Aircraft, Logistics, or a supporting Tank Platoon) also listen to Company Net, and may even transmit on it if the situation requires.

The primary users of Company Net are the Company Commander and all Platoon Leaders under his command. Since these players are rarely within Voice range of each other during the mission, Company Net is their primary method of communication. Should one of them be killed, whoever inherits their role will want to recover the 148/152 radio immediately to resume communicating on this net. A unit that has lost its 148/152 radio is likely to become ineffective, though each Platoon is likely to have multiple such radios and should have no problem resuming communications.

In Company-sized missions, Company Net is the primary channel for coordinating tactics. Company Commanders give orders almost exclusively on this channel, so that both the intended recipient and anyone else on the net can hear those orders. This allows all listeners on Company Net to understand what the company and each of its subordinate components is doing.

Missions with multiple Companies are extremely rare, and have so far been restricted to Armored Battalion operations. It is therefore difficult if not impossible to generalize about them.

Channel Specifications
Company Net is transmitted and received on a dedicated 148/152 long-range radio channel. It will typically be Channel #1 on the long-range radio.

Using 148/152 allows members of Company Net to converse over very long distances - essentially across the entire map. It ignores terrain features that would block 343 radio transmissions. 148/152 radios are distributed only to higher-ranking leaders (Squad Leaders and up), and may also available inside some vehicles by default.

Players often set Company Net to be heard on the left ear, while listening to both another 148/152 net (such as Platoon Net) and their unit's 343 radio on the right ear. This may differ from one player to another, based on personal preference.
