Sonim Technologies has launched the Stone Mountain Phoenix Remote Speaker Microphone (RSM) with 10-Channel Selector and Klein Valor RSM with 16-Channel and Volume Selectors. These ultra-rugged accessories are designed with the first responder in mind, offering a complete hands-free communications experience on Sonim's XP8 and XP5s handsets. Key features demonstrating compatibility with Sonim's XP8 and XP5 include Sonim's SecureAudio interface allows the speaker microphone to be physically secured to and powered by the XP8/XP5s, features that are unique to Sonim devices across the cellular industry; the ability to use the RSM to directly change channels or talk groups and control volume.
The Stone Mountain Phoenix and Klein VALOR RSMs' Push-to-Talk (PTT) voice capabilities can be powered by SLA's ESChat using a FirstNet-ready, over the top, solution specifically developed on Sonim's SDK that is compatible with the channel selectors.
The Stone Mountain Phoenix RSM with 10-Channel Selector meets Sonim's ultra-rugged, IP-68 and Mil-Std-810G performance standards. It includes a physical knob to change channels and volume, listen-only headset jack and large PTT button. The optional listen-only earpiece jack allows for covert listening in secure, quiet settings. In addition, a built-in emergency button on the RSM is mapped to the Sonim handset emergency button making it easy to initiate lone worker or mandown alerts.
The Klein VALOR RSM with 16-Channel and Volume Selectors meets IP-55 performance standards and includes two physical knobs for channel and volume selection, two large PTT buttons (front-facing and thumb) and overmolded rubber for grip. It also has a locking earpiece port for listen-only headsets, which redirects the receive audio from the speaker to reduce noise and dissemination of information to the public.
