Sonim Delivers FirstNet Ready XP10 for Public Safety

Sonim Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONM) is pleased to announce that the XP10 is now certified and approved for use on FirstNet® – the only network built with and for America’s first responders. The ultra-rugged, 5G XP10 is now FirstNet Ready®, which means first responders can use it to tap into specialized capabilities designed to meet their mission-centric needs on the FirstNet network.

FirstNet, Built with AT&T is solving long-standing communications challenges faced by public safety entities and those supporting emergency response nationwide. This allows first responders to communicate with one another easily and quickly during everyday situations, big events or emergencies. And FirstNet is evolving based on the needs of and feedback from the public safety community, driving purposeful innovation to help them stay mission ready. Now, with the XP10 as part of the FirstNet ecosystem, first responders have even more devices to access the critical information they need – every day and in every emergency.

“The XP10 is the culmination of thousands of data points that we’ve collected from public safety users over the last few years,” said Chip Frederking, vice president and general manager, AT&T/FirstNet, Sonim. “With a streamlined look and feel, more ergonomic tactile physical buttons (including one for PTT and one for emergency use) and efficiency improvements, the XP10 has been designed from the ground up for first responders. And all the while, we’ve still ensured that it holds true to our ultra-rugged performance standards, allowing the XP10 to stand up to daily punishment while keeping public safety and enterprise workers connected which is a requirement, not an option, for those who work in extreme conditions.”

As a pioneer in manufacturing ultra-rugged mobile devices and developing mission critical communications solutions, Sonim was the first to deliver FirstNet Ready® ultra-rugged devices to public safety when the AT&T FirstNet network launched in 2018. That legacy continues with the XP10.

Just like all Sonim devices, the XP10 is built to meet ultra-rugged standards, including MIL-STD-810H and Non-Incendive Class I, II and III Div 2 ratings. It has been tested and can survive drops from six feet directly onto concrete, be submerged in six feet of water for 60 minutes, operate in all weather conditions from -4° F to 131° F, and much more. Sonim’s 3-year comprehensive warranty covers more than traditional mobile warranties and lowers the total cost of ownership.

The XP10 is not a typical rugged phone. While still ultra-rugged, it features a lighter, sleeker design so it fits comfortably in a pocket. The 5000mAh battery can stand up to multiple shifts without a charge, even longer for some workers. The battery is also removable and can be swapped out reducing downtime on the job. Sonim is a leader in audio quality and continues to improve on the audio experience with the XP10. Even in the noisiest work environments, workers can hear and be heard louder and clearer than ever before through the 10...
