The smartlink comes with the camera and useing it you can fire from cover without exposing yourself to attack. just stick your gun around the corner and fire away!
My question is how do you guys handle this in your campaigns? I see it as being a problem becuase it will draw out combat and make combat a little less intertesting. So far I have told the players I'm not sure how to handle it yet and they don't seem to mind, realizing that it will A) give them a signifigant advantage and lead to uninteresting combat and B) that if everyone has one (their enemies) then comabt will not only change drastically but slow down considerably as ther is never really anyone to shoot at.
I am sitting around trying to figure out a way to avoiud these pitfalls, and can't come to a satisfactory answer. What I have come up with is that everyone will always be manuavering to get to a firing angle where their opponent doesn't have the cover, but again this draws things out and wouldn't really work all that well anyway (it's simple to find cover from approaching enemies in an urban setting, even for thugs and poorly trained Sec teams.

How has this issue been addressed in your games?
