Nationwide LTE & PoC Radios
Push-to-talk radios with nationwide coverage.
LTE and push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) radios work like traditional two-way radios but communicate over nationwide cellular networks. Your teams can talk instantly across town or across the country.
The reach of a cellular network, the simplicity of a radio
A PoC radio looks and feels like a two-way radio. You press the button and talk, and everyone in your group hears you at once. The difference is the network. Instead of relying on a local repeater, the radio uses LTE cellular service and Wi-Fi, which means coverage follows your people wherever the network reaches.
No repeaters and no FCC license
Because PoC radios operate on a carrier network, there is no radio infrastructure to build and no FCC license to obtain. A new user can be added in minutes, and a team in Las Vegas can share a talk group with a team in another state as easily as if they were in the same building.
More than voice
LTE radios add capabilities that conventional radios do not offer on their own. GPS location tracking shows dispatchers where each radio is. Private calls, group calls, text messaging, and emergency alerts are built in, and a dispatch application on a computer lets a supervisor see and talk to the whole fleet.
A complement to your radio system
PoC is not always a replacement for a private radio system. Many organizations use both: a private system for mission-critical work on site, and LTE radios for managers, drivers, and staff who travel beyond its coverage. FirstCom Radio can link the two so that both groups can talk to each other.

Questions
Common questions
What is a PoC radio?
PoC stands for push-to-talk over cellular. A PoC radio works like a traditional two-way radio but uses LTE cellular networks and Wi-Fi instead of a local repeater, which gives it nationwide coverage.
Are LTE radios a replacement for a traditional radio system?
For many businesses, yes. For mission-critical users who must communicate when cellular networks are congested or unavailable, a private radio system remains the right foundation, and LTE radios make an excellent complement. FirstCom Radio can help you decide.
