The Resistance Radio is a research project in XCOM 2.
In-Game Description[]
Proposal[]
| “ | By replicating the communications equipment we've developed on the Avenger, we should be able to establish ground-based relays to further our reach. With wider coverage, it'll be easier for us to reach some of those outlying regions far off from HQ. | ” |
Project Report[]
| “ | Codename: Marconi
The Avenger serves our purposes adequately in terms of coordinating our communications network, but if we hope to increase our range and reach every possible outlet we will have to do more. A series of carefully positioned relay towers would suffice, assuming we can miniaturize the technology we've adapted from the aliens' own communications equipment. It may be difficult to balance the requisite power levels versus the increased chances of detection, but this is our best chance to expand on our capabilities. With the increased coverage we can expect the efficiency of local resistance operations to improve, strengthening the groups working within range of the towers. R.Tygan |

Notes[]
- Allows Radio Relay to be constructed on the Geoscape.
- Shows Continent Bonuses.
- Radio relays decrease the Intel cost to make contact with nearby countries. The cost is <base cost based on difficulty> times the number of links before a relay (so base cost if there's one next door, base cost x2 for the next over, etc.)
