The '''PTP link''' or '''point-to-point link''' was a simple multichannel communications device capable of transmitting audio signals up to 25 [[Kilometer/Legends|kilometers]] away.<ref name="STRONG" />

Available in a wide range of styles and sizes, PTP links were popular during the time of the [[Galactic Republic]].<ref name="STRONG" /> Eventually new and more powerful forms of telecommunications - such as the [[HoloNet]] - made PTP links obsolete.<ref name="STRONG" /> Despite the obsolescence of PTP links, they found a large following among the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel Alliance]] due to the fact that most modern communications devices were incapable of picking up PTP transmissions, making them ideal for covert communication.<ref name="STRONG" /> With the addition of a PTP encryption device, a PTP's archaic transmission format was virtually undetectable.<ref name="STRONG" /> Basic models cost 150 [[Galactic Credit Standard|credits]] to buy, although models with encryption packages could cost up to a 1,000 credits.<ref name="STRONG" />
