Whether you’re hiking deep into the Great Smoky Mountains, camping off the grid, or just preparing for your next road trip, one thing remains the same: reliable communication matters. Traditional walkie talkies are limited by terrain and distance, and cell service can disappear when you need it most.
The POC-1 Ultra from Poclink solves the problem. Combining LTE coverage with off-grid analog reliability, it gives adventurers a practical way to stay connected, essential for safety, coordination, and peace of mind.
Why Range Still Matters Off the Grid
Traditional long range walkie talkies usually sound impressive on paper, but their range often tops out at just a few miles, and that’s in perfect conditions. Add hills, dense trees, or a storm, and your signal can vanish when you need it most. That can be frustrating and in the outdoors, unreliable communication can even become unsafe.
The POC-1 Ultra removes that guesswork. In LTE mode, it isn’t bound by miles at all, so check-ins across cities, states, or even borders stay clear and instant. For pros, that means tighter coordination across dispersed teams, logistics, security, or event ops. For travelers and families in separate vehicles, it’s a simple way to keep everyone in touch without relying on cell coverage that comes and goes. In short: it delivers the peace of mind people hoped to get from a “long-range” radio, but rarely do, earning the title of a true unlimited range walkie talkie.
Two Ways to Stay in Touch: PoC + Analog
Instead of relying on just one system, the POC-1 Ultra combines LTE and Analog in a way that covers both everyday travel and true off-grid moments. LTE handles the long distances, for example, checking in from another city or staying in touch across state lines, while Analog steps in when the signal bars disappear. Rather than carrying both an LTE radio and a bulky analog unit, the Ultra puts both functions into one lightweight device, keeping communication simple and reliable.
The POC-1 Ultra also adds something you won’t find in most LTE or analog radios today: a relay mode that keeps talking even when service disappears. If one unit has no signal, it can still pass messages through another Ultra that’s online, so what would normally be a dead zone becomes part of an unlimited-range conversation. That means a hiker in a no-service zone can still reach the wider team, if even one radio in the group has LTE, the whole conversation can carry across any distance.
Features That Matter in the Wild
Privacy also matters when you’re off the grid. With AES-256 encryption and anonymous SIM cards, the POC-1 Ultra keeps conversations private and secure, while staying as easy to use as a regular walkie talkie. The device blends modern tech with practical design, packing in features that actually make a difference when you’re outdoors or coordinating with a team.
Instant Grouping & GPS Tracking
Bluetooth grouping skips the usual setup, letting a team create its own channel in seconds, handy for hikers or crews working on the fly. When LTE is available, the built-in high-sensitivity GPS chip shares location data to a private map inside the Poclink app. It’s only visible to members of your encrypted group, and you can turn sharing off at any time.
Compatibility & Relay Mode
The POC-1 Ultra is compatible with analog radios from other brands, so you can slot it into existing setups. Relay mode even bridges LTE and analog users on the same channel, keeping mixed teams connected without extra hassle.
Long-Lasting Power
Using a phone for location often drains the battery quickly. The POC-1 Ultra’s battery is tuned for days of communication, so you can stay connected throughout a trip while keeping your phone charged for navigation or photos. For anyone on the move, that kind of endurance is both practical and reassuring.
Compact Design, Built Tough
At just 130 grams, the POC-1 Ultra is, as far as we know, the smallest dual-mode walkie talkie available today. It slips easily into a pocket or clips to a pack, making it practical for hikers, families, and professionals alike. Despite its size, it’s rugged enough for daily use and outdoor abuse.
Accessories That Fit Your Style
The POC-1 Ultra also supports a variety of add-ons, making it easy to tailor for different situations, whether you want something discreet for travel, sturdy for outdoor use, or practical for work.
In the End
Poclink takes a hands-on approach with the POC-1 Ultra. Everything from the hardware to the software is built in-house, kept in their own hands rather than rebranded or outsourced.
The idea is simple: give people a radio they can actually count on when phones go dark and older walkie talkies can’t keep up. And because not everyone uses it the same way, there’s a range of add-ons: Bluetooth earpieces, stealth headsets, spare batteries, dock chargers, and belt clips, so users can set it up for the trail, the road, or everyday work.
