How much does the Poclink POC-1 Pro cost to run?
The POC-1 Pro costs €359.95 for a 2-pack in Poclink's EU store (seen 9 October 2026) and $399 in the US store. Poclink includes its Standard Global Plan for 84 countries for a free term, then $29 a year. Wider coverage costs $69 or $99 per radio per year.
| Plan | Countries on Poclink's list | Price per radio |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Global | 84 | Included for a free term; $29 a year after it |
| Essential Global | 130 | $69 a year |
| Premium Global | 169 | $99 a year |
- Countries. The 84 are mostly Europe, the US and Canada. Mexico, Brazil and the UAE start on the $69 plan; Japan and New Zealand are on the $99 plan only. Australia, India, South Korea and China appear on none of the three lists (checked 30 October 2026).
- Term. Poclink's Pro and Ultra FAQ calls free lifetime a summer offer: when it ends, three years are free, then $29 a year or $49 once per radio. The spec tables say 3 years.
- Offer. The home page marks its no-fee line as a "limited-time offer".
- Keeping it active. Poclink says it will contact you to confirm that the radio is still in use and take you through a verification. Its Terms of Service never mention a lifetime plan.
My view: Wi-Fi does not change the plan. The radio still needs the Poclink cloud, so pick the plan for the countries you work in and keep your receipt.
Who makes the Poclink POC-1 Pro?
The Pro matches HPYJ's model HP-N327W by specification: LTE plus 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, 136 g, 3,000 mAh and a 1.44-inch screen. The HP-N327W manual on the FCC record shows the group name "Poclink Team".

- Photos. The N327W external photos show a black body, an orange antenna ring and a round centre key between a green and a red key, the Pro's look. Page 1 shows five HPYJ models side by side: HP-N326W, HP-N323W, HP-N328W, HP-N325W and HP-N327W.
- Dates. The N327W grant is dated 29 September 2026, so it is a newer filing on the same platform. The match is by specification; the label on your unit shows its own FCC ID.
- Poclink's own statement. Poclink's About page says it designs its hardware, firmware and app in-house and does not white-label. For the POC-1 Lite, Poclink prints an FCC ID held by HPYJ USA LLC, and a 2025 edition of the Ultra manual reads "Copyright 2025 HPYJ USA LLC". The Lite page of this site covers it.
What do the FCC test files show for the Poclink POC-1 Pro?
The FCC file for HP-N327W covers LTE on US bands, Bluetooth LE and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi at 0.078 W conducted, with SAR reports and position photos. Poclink's Pro manual prints a maximum SAR of 0.615 W/kg against the US limit of 1.6 W/kg.
| Radio | Frequencies | What the file gives |
|---|---|---|
| Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n | 2412-2462 MHz | 0.078 W conducted; a Wi-Fi test report is on file |
| Bluetooth LE | 2402-2480 MHz | A BLE test report is on file |
| LTE, US bands | B2/4/5/7/12/13/17/38/41/66 | Test reports and antenna specification, including Wi-Fi |
| Highest SAR | LTE Band 41, back side | 0.615 W/kg (Poclink's Pro and Ultra manuals) |
- Exhibits on record. Two-part manual, external photos, two sets of internal photos, antenna specification, SAR report with position photos, and test reports. The block diagram, schematics and parts list are confidential.
- What the photos add. The external photos give the body from every side with a millimetre ruler, which is the basis of the to-scale drawing on this page.
Which LTE bands does the Poclink POC-1 Pro use?
Poclink's EU page lists B1, B3, B5, B7, B8, B20, B28, B38, B40 and B41. The Pro's NA manual and the HP-N327W FCC record list the US set: B2, B4, B5, B7, B12, B13, B17, B38, B41 and B66. Ask Poclink in writing which band version ships to you.
| Source | LTE bands |
|---|---|
| Poclink EU product page | B1/3/5/7/8/20/28/38/40/41 |
| Poclink Pro manual, NA version | B2/4/5/7/12/13/17/38/41/66 |
| HP-N327W manual (FCC record) | B2/4/5/7/12/13/17/38/41/66 |
- Why it matters. B20 and B28 are the low bands European networks use outside cities; the US set has neither. Compare each list with your operator in the band checker on this page.
What does Wi-Fi add to the Poclink POC-1 Pro?
Wi-Fi lets the Pro reach Poclink's cloud where a mobile signal is weak or missing. It supports 2.4 GHz networks only, 802.11 b/g/n in the HP-N327W manual. Poclink says Starlink Wi-Fi works and that the radio can run on Wi-Fi without a SIM when the network has internet access.
- Setup. You pick a network in the radio's settings and enter its password. The radio joins saved networks again on its own.
- Starlink. The Starlink claim is Poclink's. The radio's Wi-Fi is 2.4 GHz only, 2412-2462 MHz in the FCC grant.
- Switching. Poclink says the radio switches between LTE and Wi-Fi automatically. A referral-code blog that compared it with Rapid Radios reports that the Pro left open networks quickly, stayed on password-protected ones and sometimes fell back to 4G.
- No analog. The Pro has no analog radio; that is the Ultra. Wi-Fi extends the cloud connection, and radios still talk through the Poclink server.
Do Poclink's POC-1 Pro claims hold up?
Some do, with conditions the ads play down. The Wi-Fi mode, the plan term and the maker each read differently in different documents. This table compares the claims with Poclink's own manual, the FCC record that matches the Pro and John Galea's report on the shared POC-1 platform.
| Poclink says | What the documents show |
|---|---|
| Works on Starlink Wi-Fi | Poclink's claim. The radio supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only (802.11 b/g/n, 2412-2462 MHz). |
| Switches between LTE and Wi-Fi automatically | A referral-code blog saw drops back to 4G and quick exits from open networks. |
| We design our hardware in-house and don't white-label | HPYJ's model HP-N327W matches the Pro's specifications, and the FCC ID Poclink prints for the Lite belongs to HPYJ USA LLC. |
| 87 x 29 x 55 mm, 136 g, 3,000 mAh | The HP-N327W manual gives 115 x 55 x 30 mm with the antenna, 136 g and 3,000 mAh. |
| Lifetime free Standard Global Plan | A summer offer on the FAQ; afterwards 3 years free, then $29 a year or $49 once. Wider coverage costs $69 or $99 a year. |
| Continuous use 2-5 days, standby 5 days | John Galea saw about 2% an hour on an Ultra with mixed LTE and FRS use, so about 50 hours per charge at that rate. |
What do Poclink buyers report?
Scores depend on who hosts them: 4.9 in Poclink's own store, 2.6 to 3.8 elsewhere. The reviews below cover Poclink as a company and its POC-1 radios, with three Pro videos dated April to August 2026 and hands-on figures from an Ultra buyer.
| Where | Rating | Reviews |
|---|---|---|
| Poclink store, POC-1 Ultra page | 4.9 | 1,672 |
| Trustpilot | 3.5 | 32 |
| App Store, Poclink app | 3.8 | 24 |
| Google Play, Poclink app | 2.6 | 23 |
- Trustpilot. 53% five-star and 28% one-star. Of the 11 one- and two-star reviews, five describe radios that failed or cut out, three poor or no network, and three delivery or return trouble. Poclink answered 72% of negative reviews.
- The app. App Store and Google Play reviews complain most about logins: being signed out, or not getting back in. Some praise support.
- A hands-on review of the same platform. John Galea bought his radios himself for CAD 562 and reports about 2% battery an hour on mixed LTE and FRS use and about 3% an hour mostly on FRS; at 2% an hour a full charge lasts about 50 hours. One of his radios froze after about four hours in patchy coverage and came back only with the battery out; Poclink support pushed an over-the-air update. The Pro shares the body and battery size of his Ultra.
- Dependence on Poclink. Galea points out the risk of the model: if Poclink's servers stop, voice, messages and location stop with them.
- Videos. 12 of the 13 YouTube reviews we found carry affiliate links or discount codes in their descriptions, so treat them as advertising. All Things Overlanding, on 28 April 2026, carries a referral link.
- A positive outside view. A June 2026 Kiplinger column by lawyer H. Dennis Beaver recommends Poclink and calls its ads honest. It is about a rival, Rapid Radios, and does not cover the SIM plan terms.
My verdict: the Pro suits a small group that works near Wi-Fi or Starlink and inside the 84 countries. Get the band version and the plan term in writing.
Will it work in your country?
Poclink's EU page lists 7 LTE FDD and 3 LTE TDD bands for the POC-1 Pro, including B1, B3, B7, B8, B20 and B28; its NA manual lists the US set.

Questions
Poclink Pro review: is the POC-1 Pro worth it?
It adds 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi to the Lite for €359.95 per pair. Buyers praise clear calls; one referral blog saw Wi-Fi drop back to 4G at times. The plan covers 84 countries for a free term.
Poclink Ultra vs Pro: which should I buy?
Pick the Pro for Wi-Fi and the Ultra for 16 analog channels and a second PTT key. Both cost €359.95 per pair and share one body, battery and screen. The Pro has no analog radio.
Who makes the Poclink POC-1 Pro?
The Pro matches HPYJ's FCC model HP-N327W by specification: Wi-Fi, 136 g, 3,000 mAh. The FCC ID Poclink prints for the Lite, the same body, belongs to HPYJ USA LLC, while Poclink's About page says it designs its hardware in-house.
Does the Poclink Pro work with Starlink?
Poclink says Starlink Wi-Fi works. The radio supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only, so the network must offer 2.4 GHz and internet access. The radio then reaches the Poclink cloud without a mobile signal.
Is the Poclink POC-1 Pro legit?
Poclink Tech LLC sells real radios and buyers report working calls. Ratings run from 4.9 in its own store to 3.5 on Trustpilot and 2.6 on Google Play, and the free plan covers 84 countries for a term.
Which LTE bands does the Poclink POC-1 Pro support?
Poclink's EU page lists B1, B3, B5, B7, B8, B20, B28, B38, B40 and B41. The NA manual and the HP-N327W FCC record list the US set: B2, B4, B5, B7, B12, B13, B17, B38, B41 and B66.
Does the Poclink Pro work without a SIM?
Poclink says it can run on Wi-Fi without a SIM when the network has internet access. The radio still talks through Poclink's cloud, so the plan and the account still apply.
