So while playing through the first module of Against the Aeon Throne, it was only in the Development entry in ONE SECTION that said that all the forces of the AT were supposed to have com units in their helmets. At first, we snarked about it, and how that, along with some other things, meant that particular module was pretty poorly written.
Now, however, after just finishing the description of the Computer Interface, I'm reconsidering; despite it not being mentioned on the features of armor (CRB 196-199), are all suits supposed to have an integral com unit? Is there a FAQ that my group missed? Or does the wording of the rules for a Computer Interface mean that this was a sloppy way of saying the upgrade also installs an integral com unit?

They hid this one really well. It's in the life and entertainment section of the core rulebook, noting that anyone with armor on has a com unit they can check for the latest updates.
Figures. Noted for future reference. Thanks.
For others looking at this, it's on page 430.
