The Talky-Walky is a piece of unlockable 
Equipment that can be used in one of three equipment slots available per trooper. Once equipped, it allows the operator to call for backup without any 
Deployment cost. This will deploy an additional 
Trooper with little 
Initiative boost during combat in a similar fashion as the 
Comms Officer's 
Support order.
The trooper deployed effectively has a Deployment cost of 0. One advantage of the Talky-Walky is that the friendly trooper deployed can still use a Vehicle. The trooper may deploy normally or use a Motorcycle (which would otherwise be a Deployment cost of 1), or the trooper may deploy using a Light Tank ( otherwise a Deployment cost of 2). In this way, the Talky-Walky is similar to the Scout specialization.
The limits of exactly how much the Talky-Walky could save in Deployment cost is unknown. Whether or not the Talky-Walky could be used to deploy a Heavy Tank is still untested. If deploying a Heavy Tank with Talky-Walky is possible, then it would be a saving of 6 Deployment points and a substitution for the 2 Scouts the would be needed otherwise.
One disadvantage of the Talky-Walky is that it may deploy an enemy 
spy instead of a friendly trooper.
The Talky-Walky can be equipped in a Equipment slot twice if the trooper has the skill twice, and it may be used twice per battle as shown in the following example: http://legalohg.minitroopers.es/b/fview/18672279
