Nothing more or less than a small RPV airship who's sole function is to serve as a communications relay.
Small, slow, and completely unarmored (At that size and mass, what would be the point?) But unless broadcasting, VERY hard to spot. And even if broadcasting, they are small targets, whose operators take pride in their ability to avoid being found. And at the price, most users can afford to use a good number of them.
Most commonly used as a remote broadcast site, either of a recorded, or tight-beamed message, so as to avoid detection of the originating source. Also used to circumvent areas of jamming, or communications “Dead Zones”
