Sonim Technologies' ultra-rugged XP7 LTE Android smartphones were used in a demonstration of emergency communications during the International Ski Federation’s Alpine World Ski Championships in Vail, Colo.
The dedicated Band 14 LTE network provides a high-speed wireless data pipeline that is not impacted by the general public. The 700 MHz Band 14 spectrum has been made available with the approval of FirstNet and a grant from the FCC for a special temporary authorization (STA).
XP7 attributes include 40 hours of LTE-based talk time, extreme durability in hot, dusty and wet environments, visibility under direct sunlight and support for a wide range of Android applications.
The XP7 meets Sonim’s Rugged Performance Standards (RPS), which go far beyond basic MIL-Spec and IP certifications. Standard features include an extra-loud speaker, noise cancellation, a powerful, 4,800-milliamp battery, resistance to submersion in water, an ability to withstand drops onto concrete surfaces and ease of use with dirty or wet work gloves.
The XP7 also comes standard with a Blanview screen that can be viewed in direct sunlight – a critical feature for everyone who works or engages in activities outdoors. Sonim devices also have a robust suite of industrial-grade accessories, such as remote speaker microphones, car kits and headphones.
Select Sonim devices, including the XP6 ultra-rugged smartphone, are sold nationally through AT&T
