The global-ptt 5288 is a professional dual-mode two-way radio designed for business teams, farms, security, warehouses, construction sites, logistics, fleets, and field operations. It combines Push-to-Talk Over Cellular communication with UHF analog radio capability, giving your team two communication methods in one rugged device.
In LTE PoC mode, the 5288 communicates through 4G LTE cellular networks for unlimited-range Push-to-Talk communication where compatible cellular service is available. This is ideal for teams working across cities, states, routes, job sites, or multiple locations.
In UHF analog mode, the 5288 supports local radio-to-radio communication on 400-520 MHz, with an estimated range of 5-15 km depending on terrain, buildings, antenna position, power setting, and local radio conditions. It may also communicate with other UHF analog radios when both devices are programmed to the same frequency, bandwidth, and CTCSS/DCS settings.
Key Features
The GLOBAL-PTT 5288 gives your team two communication options in one device. Use LTE PoC mode for wide-area Push-to-Talk communication, or switch to UHF analog mode for local radio communication.
In PoC mode, the 5288 works over 4G LTE cellular networks for unlimited-range team communication where compatible cellular service is available. No traditional repeater or radio tower setup is required for PoC communication. The included SIM supports major local network operators in supported countries and automatically switches to the strongest available carrier signal for stable team communication.
In UHF analog mode, the 5288 provides local radio-to-radio communication with an estimated range of 5-15 km. Actual range may vary depending on terrain, buildings, antenna position, weather, power setting, and local radio conditions. The 5288 supports UHF analog communication from 400-520 MHz, making it suitable for local team communication, job sites, farms, warehouses, security patrols, and field operations.
In analog mode, the GLOBAL-PTT 5288 may communicate with other UHF analog radios when both radios are programmed to the same frequency, bandwidth, and CTCSS/DCS settings. PoC cellular communication remains compatible with global-ptt PoC radios and global-ptt App users under the same account.
The 8w 5288 is designed for strong local UHF analog performance, helping teams communicate clearly across outdoor areas, work sites, farms, industrial spaces, and other local operating environments.
The dual screen display helps users view important operating information more easily, including channel, signal, mode, and device status.
The built-in 4000mAh battery supports long work shifts and daily field use.
The 5288 offers up to 5-7 days of standby time and up to 24 hours of use time, depending on usage frequency, signal condition, power setting, and operating environment.
The 5288 supports convenient Type-C charging for easier daily charging and modern accessory compatibility.
The package includes a dedicated 5288 programming cable, allowing supported analog channel and radio settings to be configured when needed.
High-Definition Sound Quality
Built for professional communication, the 5288 delivers clear and loud audio for teams working in noisy, outdoor, or industrial environments.
Durable and Drop-Resistant Design
The rugged body is designed for demanding work environments, including farms, warehouses, construction sites, security patrols, outdoor operations, fleet work, and field service.
Professional Keypad and Control Layout
The 5288 features a full keypad, PTT button, menu key, mode switch, monitor button, power/volume knob, screen, antenna, battery, and Type-C charging port for practical field operation.

How It Works
LTE PoC Mode
Use 4G LTE cellular networks for unlimited-range Push-to-Talk communication where compatible cellular service is available. This mode is ideal for wide-area communication across cities, states, routes, and multiple job sites.
UHF Analog Mode
Use 400-520 MHz UHF analog communication for local radio-to-radio communication. The estimated analog range is approximately 5-15 km depending on environment and radio settings.
Compatible Analog Communication
The 5288 may communicate with other UHF analog radios when properly programmed to the same frequency, bandwidth, and CTCSS/DCS settings.

Important Notes
LTE PoC communication requires compatible cellular service and an active GLOBAL-PTT service plan.
Unlimited-range communication applies to LTE PoC mode where compatible cellular service is available.
UHF analog communication range is approximately 5-15 km and may vary based on terrain, buildings, antenna position, power setting, and local radio conditions.
UHF analog compatibility with other brands requires matching frequency, bandwidth, and CTCSS/DCS settings.
PoC cellular mode is designed for GLOBAL-PTT radios and GLOBAL-PTT App users under the same system account.
This product is not an off-grid emergency communication device when used in LTE PoC mode. LTE PoC mode depends on cellular network availability.
FAQ
Does the GLOBAL-PTT 5288 work nationwide?
Yes. In LTE PoC mode, the 5288 works over 4G LTE cellular networks for unlimited-range Push-to-Talk communication where compatible cellular service is available.
What is the analog communication range?
In UHF analog mode, the estimated local communication range is approximately 5-15 km, depending on terrain, buildings, antenna position, power setting, and local radio conditions.
