If you are looking for a solid and robust phone, then you have come to the right place with the Sonim brand. A regular phone has already caused you quite a few headaches: it has fallen on the floor and the screen is cracked, after working in a dusty location the phone no longer charges properly or the buttons have failed after a short time. With a robust phone you will not have this problem. The keys are much more durable and the phone's casing provides extra protection.
Characteristics of Sonim phones
They are known for their protection against wind and weather. To view the specifications, you can always look up the quality mark that is displayed on the rugged smartphone. For example, IP68 qualification is resistant to dust, dirt and sand. And with this quality mark it has even been proven that it can withstand a maximum depth of one and a half meters in water for up to thirty minutes. With the IP56 quality mark, it is only resistant to some splashes of water. Another certification is the ATEX. This certification indicates to what extent a telephone is gas or dust explosion-proof. The explosion sensitivity is shown in zones and a zone that is more sensitive requires a different telephone than a zone that is less sensitive to explosion hazard.
A Sonim phone with a classic look
Don't be fooled by the phone that still has a fairly regular appearance. This phone has PTT – or Push To Talk – with which you can speak at the touch of a button. This function is often used if you have a profession that requires you to be able to communicate with each other easily. Even with gloves on, a PTT button can still be operable. That feels safe. Are you buying this phone for all employees within your company? Then Sonim even provides a three-year free warranty. That's totally a good thing.
Would you rather have a smartphone?
Sonim phones are also available in a smartphone variant, where the screen is made of special material so that even if you operate the device with sand on your gloves, you can still achieve your goal. The screen is not damaged, so the smartphone functions remain available. It has also been ensured that you are always understandable. Extra decibels have been made possible, so that you can continue to make calls even in a noisy working environment and hear the person on the other end of the line. You notice the noise in the background less because it is suppressed. With the special SOS button you can immediately raise the alarm in an emergency.
Lone Worker Protection
Sometimes you are working alone and something happens that prevents you from pressing the SOS button. With Lone Worker Protection you are also protected in that situation. Your phone has sensors that automatically sound the alarm - for example in the event of a fall or detection of foreign gases that affect consciousness. Even if you have fainted and haven't moved for too long, colleagues or the emergency room can now know that something is wrong. The system will automatically notify you in these cases. Colleagues or emergency services can now free you from your situation, thanks to your Sonim phone with special functionalities. You can also use functions such as a flashlight, radio, camera and media player as standard. But the life-saving functions are of course worth more to you. Especially if you work in security, where you may encounter unpleasant or dangerous situations, or if you work in the emergency services, a Sonim smartphone with extra safety sensors and automatic signaling can be very useful.
