Central Array

The Central Array is the main communications hub of XCOM's base.

Overview
During XCOM's 2015 operations, the organization relied on satellite uplink facilities to ensure constant monitoring of global safety. However, even using reverse-engineered alien technology XCOM still had to construct numerous facilities to process the large amounts of data. The Canada base integrated these separate facilities into a single array, designed to handle the huge amount of data between the base and communications grid. The central array processes all of the information from their sensors, vehicle telemetry and communications, feeding it straight to the data core and Mission Control. Technically the array consists of five next-generation satellite nexuses networked in parallel, positioned at the highest sub-level above the Operations Division, allowing for a level of redundancy if part of the array is taken offline. The array not only connects the base to XCOM's global network, but also connects to civilian networks and houses landline connections for external communications.
