TH-388 New Version: TMO Starlink Connectivity Enabled

What Is TMO Starlink?

TMO Starlink is a direct-to-cell satellite IoT connectivity service resulting from a strategic partnership between T-Mobile US and SpaceX’s Starlink. It uses Starlink’s low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation to deliver basic voice, text, and lightweight data services to standard mobile and IoT devices without relying on terrestrial cell towers.

Service Model: Operated by T-Mobile, requiring a TMO Starlink IoT SIM card for activation.

Key Advantage: Eliminates “dead zones” by providing global coverage—even in remote mountains, deserts, oceans, or disaster-stricken areas where cellular infrastructure is absent.

Which Applications Require TMO Starlink Connectivity?

TMO Starlink-enabled radios address critical communication gaps in off-grid, remote, and high-risk environments where traditional POC radios or cell phones fail.

Emergency & Disaster Response

Earthquakes, wildfires, floods, or hurricanes often destroy terrestrial cell towers. TMO Starlink ensures first responders (firefighters, paramedics, search-and-rescue teams) maintain real-time PTT communication and GPS tracking in zero-coverage zones.

Remote Industrial Operations

Mining, oil/gas, and construction: Worksites in mountains, deserts, or jungles lack cellular coverage. Satellite PTT enables team coordination, safety checks, and equipment monitoring.

Maritime & offshore: Fishing vessels, cargo ships, and offshore platforms use Starlink for reliable voice communication and emergency alerts at sea.

Outdoor & Adventure Industries

Expedition teams, mountain guides, and remote tour operators rely on satellite connectivity for group communication, SOS signaling, and location sharing in extreme environments.

Public Safety & Border Patrol

Border security teams, park rangers, and wildlife conservationists operate in vast, remote areas. TMO Starlink provides constant connectivity for patrols, incident reporting, and emergency coordination.

Is the TH-388 PoC two-way radio compatible with TMO Starlink connectivity?

Certainly. The TH-388 PoC device features full compatibility with TMO Starlink. US clients are available to initiate tests on the TMO Starlink solution immediately. Please be advised that a TMO Starlink IoT SIM card is required beforehand for service activation prior to all testing operations.

What Benefits Can You Get From the Tesunho TH-388 Starlink Version?

The TH-388 Starlink edition combines professional POC radio functionality with global satellite coverage, delivering unmatched reliability and versatility for critical communication users.

100% Coverage, Zero Dead Zones

Unlike traditional POC radios limited to terrestrial networks, the TH-388 works anywhere on Earth (land, coastal waters, remote skies) via Starlink’s LEO constellation, ensuring communication when you need it most.

Uninterrupted Hybrid Communication

Seamlessly switches between 4G/3G and TMO Starlink. No more dropped calls or lost connectivity during critical operations.

Professional POC Features, Satellite-Enabled

Retains all core TH-388 POC capabilities: group calls, private calls, SOS alerts, GPS location tracking, and real-time dispatching—all available over satellite.

Cost-Effective Satellite Communication

Leverages TMO Starlink’s IoT pricing model, which is far more affordable than traditional satellite phones for PTT and lightweight data use. No expensive satellite terminals or dedicated hardware required—just a TMO Starlink IoT SIM.
