As a one man squad, your uplinks may have somehow been eligible for the other nonsquad players in the match. Believe me when I tell you that uplinks aren't working like before. I used to have a nonstop flow of +25 team spawn notices bombard my screen, but the uplinks are now squad only and my WP is way lower now.
Again, just go into a pub match and squad hop. You'll see uplinks appear and reappear as you scroll between the squads. |

Prior to 1.4, the uplinks were definitely team-based. |

Wrong. Even in 1.3 uplinks were squad based. At least in pc they were |

I can't speak for the possible differences between pub and pc matches prior to 1.4. Pub matches were definitely producing way more spawns than they are now. |

If they are gonna tell you about this, i dont imagine that any changes were made to the operation of the uplinks
Modules/Equipment
* Adjusted Armor Plate attributes - HP bonus of 85/110/135 (Basic/Enhanced/Complex) and speed penalties of 2%/3%/5% (with full skill bonuses this equates to 93.5/121/148.5)
* Adjusted Ferroscale Plate attributes - HP bonus of 35/50/75 (with full skill bonuses this equates to 38.5/55/82.5)
* Adjusted Reactive Plate attributes - HP bonus of 25/40/60 and speed penalties of 0%/1%/1% (with full skill bonuses this equates to 27.5/44/66)
* Made deployed enemy equipment detectable with the active scanner
* Active Scanner now causes detected objects to pulse on the HUD/minimap/overview map so that you can more easily identify scan results
* Updated equipment deployment system to prevent deployment failures |

I do.
All uplinks are supposed to be squad only except the hacked uplink which is for the entire team.
If you are not in a squad then everyone else who isn't squadded counts as your squad(which is why you get spawns when running solo).
That being said, in 1.3 uplinks were bugged and sometimes allowed non squad members to use your uplinks. This may have been fixed in 1.4 but I haven't played long enough in 1.3 to know for sure(although it looks like they're finally working as intended). |

I remember someone saying that a squad member's being in proximity to an uplink unlocks it for access to your squad, at least temporarily. This would to some degree explain what people in this thread have been seeing. |

I seem to remember a dev replying in an Uplink thread a while ago saying that all Uplinks are supposed to be teamwide. I just can't find that post currently 
There's just a lot of mixed answers in this thread. Some say they're in a squad and get spawns from non squad members, other say they don't etc. A while back I believe the Uplinks were bugged so sometimes they wouldn't show up for some people or something, so this might be the case here as well. |

None of the uplinks distiguish as different in the descriptions....except for the fact that the hacked on says its usable by everyone...meaning "militia". in fact the word clones is used in all descriptions....
If one of the uplinks had the feature of working on the hole team it wouldnt be in the description?comon
or the fact that they only work for your squad isnt written any where officiall including the description

although I have tested what you said with squad jumping and saw the uplinks change, i think it might be a glitch going on or there s a factor that we dont know about it that flicks them on for other squads...
This would be perfect for a DEV to Jump in and just let us know..
Who can acess your uplinks when you deploy them? team/squad or...
Has this changed recently?
Did you change this in 1.4?

I can at least confirm that people not in my 1-man squad can use my Uplinks, but what might be happening is that only the squadless people can see and use them, ie other squads can't.
So it might be that
If you're in a squad you can use your squad's Uplinks as well as Uplinks deployed by people not in a squad. However you can't use Uplinks deployed by people in other squads.
If you're not in a squad you can use all Uplinks deployed.
I don't really want to confirm this, but I suspect it might work a bit like this. |

They haven't really said how they're supposed to work in detail, and to be honest I suspect they might not even know for sure. |

It has been said but you'll have to search. Ive asked myself and gotten the answer "squad only except for hacked" from a dev. On my phone so I'm not searching right now. |

If you're in a squad only your squad can spawn from your uplinks. If you're not in a squad anyone also not in a squad can span from your uplinks; this is how it's always been unless they ninja fixed it (or is it intended to work this way?) in 1.4 |

Not entirely true, since people are spawning on my Uplinks and I'm in my own squad.
As I said, it might be that all squadless people can spawn on anyone's Uplinks, but once you're in a squad you can no longer spawn on other squads' Uplinks, but only on your own squad's Uplinks as well as squadless peoples' Uplinks. |

Can you find the dev post on this once you have time? I would really like to see a dev comment on this, as the dev comment I remember (no source since I can't find the post, sadly) said all Uplinks should function equally and all be teamwide. |

 Militia uplinks are squad only. All other uplinks are for the entire team. Having them limited to squad only would defeat a lot of purpose of team play. |

Maybe that's the key to the whole thing. It's not that you can't SPAWN on them, you just can't see them from orbit unless you are in the squad. It's the change from team vision to squad vision that's causing this.
Have to say I like that idea a whole lot better than nerfing uplinks to be only squad based. At the very least ADV links or better should be available to the entire team. |

But don't active scanners only show enemy players and enemy gear on the battlefield? It's not like a scan will uncover all of your teams own uplinks, right? |

At the risk of getting in trouble here is the content of the answer to my support ticket(instead of making guesses you too can ask questions - if enough support tickets on the same topic are created then they will likely make a blog about it).
GM Unicorn wrote:Hi,
The Drop Uplinks work as follows:
- If you are in a Squad, everyone in your Squad will be able to spawn using your Drop Uplink.
- If you are not in a Squad, everyone in your team will be able to spawn using your Drop Uplink.
- If you have the Hacked Drop Uplink, everyone can spawn using it even if you are in a Squad.
Different quality of Drop Uplinks have different respawn delays, copies carried or spawn counts. We checked your last few battles and in most of them you were in a squad alone. If you use the Drop Uplink in that situation, only you will able to use it, as you are the only Squad member. Our suggestion is to check before entering in battle if you are part of a squad or not. If you want to support your whole team with your Drop Uplink, you should leave the Squad before entering in battle.
Should you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Warm regards,

I mentioned that in practice non squad members can use the uplinks and that was forwarded to QA. |
