The thing is that you don't just want ONE unit with comm gear, you want a total of ELEVEN, the first with 7+ tons for that sweet +2 initiative bonus and then the other ten to link to satellites, 6 to get one each of the generic ones on page 195 of TacOps, and then 4 more to connect to 4 different satellites, each carrying a different satellite imager (TacOps 338), these last 4 in addition to providing various overlapping benefits in revealing hidden units, they also provide a further +1 initiative each.
