Based on feedback from over 500,000 users who perform difficult jobs in some of the most challenging conditions in the world, the phone is engineered to exceed military-grade specifications for toughness.  Completely dust-proof, water submersible to 6.5 feet for 1 hour, the phone is drop tested up to 6.5 feet onto concrete and features a 1.5mm thick scratch and shock resistant Corning® Gorilla® glass lens on a bright, two-inch high-resolution display.

The XP 3400 Armor™ features a combination of hardened rubber molded into a reinforced fiberglass casing to give users the confidence to truly take the device anywhere.  The phone is certified against salt, fog, humidity, transport shock, thermal shock and operates in temperatures ranging from -5° F to 130° F. 

“This strategic partnership with C Spire brings Sonim’s legendary ruggedness to the nation’s first personalized network, meeting the growing demand among users for a reliable phone in the enterprise segment,” said Bob Plaschke, CEO of Sonim Technologies.  “The ultra-ruggedness of the Sonim XP 3400 Armor™ coupled with the dependability, reliability and coverage of the C Spire network make this a must-have device for workers in demanding jobs within the enterprise.”

With the XP 3400 Armor™, companies with mobile workforces can reduce operating costs, increase productivity, improve customer satisfaction and ensure employee safety.  The handset has professional-grade assisted-GPS that

delivers highly accurate locations and faster location fixes due to superior signal sensitivity.  With up to 9.5 hours of talk time or 850 hours of standby time, the XP 3400 Armor has the power to handle long work days.

The phone is Brew-enabled so it offers certified third party applications such as workforce management solutions.  The mobile resource management applications in the XP 3400 Armor offer workforce location monitoring, fleet tracking, monitoring, timecard reporting, real-time work order updates, alerts, job scheduling, event confirmation, data collection and reports.
