PoC Radios
PoC radios (push-to-talk over cellular) give instant, nationwide UK communication over the 4G and LTE networks. There is no repeater to install and no Ofcom radio licence, because the radio works through a SIM rather than its own frequency.
They suit delivery fleets, multi-site security and lone workers who need coverage beyond a single site, with GPS built in. For on-site coverage compare licensed two way radios; for short-range licence-free use, see walkie talkies.
PoC radio FAQs
Do PoC radios need an Ofcom licence?
No. A PoC radio works through a SIM on the 4G/LTE networks rather than its own radio frequency, so there is no Ofcom radio licence to hold.
What is the range of a PoC radio?
Nationwide, anywhere with mobile coverage — that is the whole point. The limit is cellular coverage, not distance.
PoC or a licensed two way radio?
PoC for teams spread across the country; licensed radio for reliable coverage on one site, including where mobile signal is poor. Plenty of operations run both.
Is there a monthly cost?
Yes — PoC radios need a data SIM and usually a PTT service subscription. Against that, there is no repeater to install and no Ofcom licence to hold.
