Even More Waterproof with an IP-68 Rating - and Even More Rugged with a Large Speaker, Noise-Cancellation Microphone and a High Resolution Screen

London, United Kingdome – October 7th, 2010 – Sonim Technologies, Inc. (www.sonimtech.com) today unveiled the new Sonim XP1300 CORE mobile phone, the latest in Sonim’s Xtreme Performance line of ultra-rugged phones. The XP1300 CORE represents a breakthrough in waterproofing technology - it’s the world’s first IP-68 rated GSM handset that’s fully submersible in 2 meters of water. It comes equipped with a 2-inch high-resolution, scratch-resistant screen as well as a noise-cancelling microphone, providing workers with a tough mobile phone that endures the harshest conditions.

Perfect for those in need of a mobile phone they can take anywhere, the CORE’s ability to adapt to different environments will give outdoor workers the confidence they require to take their phone beyond urban borders.

“The XP1300 CORE, our first product built on our 4th generation rugged platform, raises the toughness stakes once again. It’ll be the number one choice for construction crews, farmers, dock workers and others in tough work environments,” said Bob Plaschke, CEO of Sonim Technologies.

Available worldwide at the beginning of November, the XP1300 CORE is scratch and water resistant as well as dust proof, keeping workers connected no matter what their surroundings are. Other key features include noise cancellation, waterproof connectors and an improved display protected by Gorilla Glass®. The advanced features of the XP1300 CORE are a direct result of Sonim’s experience of shipping approximately a half a million phones over the past four years into the world’s most demanding work environments.

RUGGEDNESS
Versatile and durable, the XP1300 CORE is designed to withstand the most strenuous conditions, meeting US MIL-810G certification for salt, fog, humidity, transport shock, and thermal shock. Additionally, Sonim has added a fibreglass mix to the phone’s housing plus a Gorilla Glass® lens to give users the confidence to truly take it anywhere.

ADAPTABILITY
The XP1300 CORE adapts to the worker’s environment. The noise-cancelling microphone keeps calls clear in the presence of loud machinery and the larger, higher resolution display offers outstanding visibility in outdoor conditions.
