Crosscall CORE-P6 – rugged 5G Push-to-Talk handheld with dedicated PTT trigger and MCPTT-ready via third-party applications
The Crosscall CORE-P6 is a professional group communications terminal for operational teams who want voice communications at the center, with the operating logic of a walkie-talkie and the capabilities of mobile networks for voice, video and data. The device is designed around fast PTT operation with a dedicated PTT trigger and a 16-channel channel selector in rotary design. In addition, the device offers modern connectivity (5G, Wi-Fi 6/6E and eSIM) and expandability through the available interfaces. The CORE-P6 is intended for deployment in environments where robustness, direct operation and consistent speech intelligibility are essential.

Communications & PTT positioning
The CORE-P6 is designed for push-to-talk with a dedicated PTT trigger and a 16-channel rotary selector for quick activation and channel selection. The device positioning focuses on team communication, with support for individual calls and group communication. For mission/critical communications, the device is MCPTT-ready via third-party applications, with compatibility/integrations named in the documentation with MCPTT environments.
On the audio side, the CORE-P6 features a front speaker up to 3.5 W (max) with an output of >105 dB, combined with three microphones. AI Voice features specified include AI Noise Reduction (-60 dB), echo cancellation and anti-feedback/anti-Larsen. In addition, a receiver is provided for regular calls.
Design, operation and ergonomics
The CORE-P6 has a vertical “walkie-talkie”/T-shape form factor with a grip-oriented texture and is designed for one-handed use. Operation is arranged for field conditions with directional buttons and soft keys, and with Glove/Wet modes for use with gloves and in wet conditions. The device can be placed upright for hands-free (voice) calls or video calls.
Within the accessory ecosystem, compatibility is mentioned with X-LINK / X-BLOCKER and the KlickFast (Peter Jones) system for professional carrying, mounting, loading and audio accessories.
