Sonim XP3plus Featuring NextNav Pinnacle Vertical Location Capabilities Now Available to Verizon and Verizon Frontline Customers

Sonim Technologies (Nasdaq: SONM) announced today the integration of NextNav Pinnacle vertical location, or z-axis capabilities, into Sonim’s XP3plus, making it the first Sonim feature phone available with these capabilities.

By leveraging NextNav’s Pinnacle 911 to deliver reliable and consistent z-axis capabilities nationwide, floor-level altitude measurements will greatly enhance the ability of public safety answering points (PSAPs) to accurately identify the indoor location of wireless E911 callers. Dispatchers will be able to more precisely locate where a caller is by adding the vertical dimension alongside their horizontal location of latitude and longitude, and in turn more quickly get callers the help they need. NextNav’s technology has demonstrated floor-level accuracy 94 percent of the time in independent testing conducted in 2018 by the CTIA.

“Sonim has had a long relationship of collaborating with NextNav, a leader in next generation GPS, having delivered the first devices designed to capture z-axis measurements for public safety and 911 support in early 2021,” said Peter Lui, CEO, Sonim. “Once again, Sonim and NextNav are bringing life-saving technology to market by integrating z-axis capabilities on the XP3plus feature phone. Now enterprise, industrial and public safety workers can expect faster response times and increased situational awareness when using this compact rugged device.”
