Subject: how do the covenant communicate

i was wondering how the covenant communicate over short distances like in battle, i know they have holograms but that wouldn't be easy to use in battle.
i know the humans have radio so do the covenant have an equivalent????

They probably use something similar to Free Space Optical communication, which works with a beam of light traveling directly between two points. They were seen using something like this on Sigma Octanus IV.

"Wort Wort Wort!"

That's all I know about Elites, but the rest... it'll be something random.

It can carry audio also. Audio files/sounds/videos are still just data.

This technology would be excellent for Radio equipment since it can be broadcast in a single direction making it impossible to intercept without positioning yourself in between the two objects communicating. The Covenant presumably use something like this for ship to ship communication as seen on Sigma Octantis IV. They also seem to use something closer to a conventional radio for ground based communications noted by Cortana's mention of the Covenant broadcasting on unencrypted channels during the battle of Alpha Halo.
