Ultra-Rugged Smartphones That Will Survive on the Jobsite

Safety and communication are two of the most important aspects of daily operations in the harsh and unpredictable construction work environment. Equipment and technology are constantly put to the test and need to be reliable under the most extreme conditions. A field worker can easily burn through several iPhone or Android devices in a year due to accidental drops, extreme weather conditions, etc. And that can greatly impact the bottom line.

Sonim Technologies manufactures ultra-rugged mobile smartphones. They are backed by an industry-leading 3-year comprehensive warranty.

Sonim recently introduced models XP6 and XP7, two new ultra-rugged LTE Android smartphones built for use in the most extreme environments. If a bit bulky and heavy, their design is waterproof, dustproof and meet IP68, IP69 and MIL-STD 810G standards.

Both smartphones work under the Android 4.4 operating system. However, the lack of a QWERTY keyboard limits the userfriendlyness of the XP6. Purpose-built dedicated hard buttons enhance worker productivity applications such as the Bell Push-to-talk, TELUS Link and AT&T ePTT services. They can be operated with gloves on.

The Sonim XP7 is available for purchase in Canada at select stores through Bell, TELUS and online. The Sonim XP6 is available through TELUS in Canada and AT&T in the United States.
