Unmatched performance and feature set meets toughness and reliability in extreme conditions

San Diego, California and Sydney, Australia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 28, 2024) - Sonim Technologies (NASDAQ: SONM) introduces the Sonim H700, the world's first rugged 5G and Wi-Fi 7 mobile hotspot, available to Australians through Telstra. Featuring the Snapdragon® X75 Modem-RF system, the Sonim H700 offers advanced and reliable connectivity, ideal for professionals, first responders, and consumers needing high-speed internet in demanding conditions.

"We're thrilled to join forces with Telstra to introduce the Sonim H700 5G Mobile Hotspot, the industry's first ultra-rugged device featuring both 5G and Wi-Fi 7 technologies, and other features not found on competing devices in its class," said Peter Liu, CEO of Sonim. "This launch signifies a major leap forward in durability and connectivity, making our exceptional brand experience more accessible than ever before."

Future-proof advanced connectivity

The Sonim H700 combines 5G and Wi-Fi 7 for gigabit speeds and low latency. With support for 5G, 4G, and 3G networks¹, and external antenna ports, it ensures reliable connections even in low coverage areas. It supports up to 34 devices², features a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port, USB 3.1 for tethering, and integrates seamlessly with existing routers, making it perfect for streaming 8K, gaming, and conferencing.

Built for Extreme Conditions

True to Sonim's legacy, the Sonim H700 is engineered to perform in the most demanding environments. It meets a subset of Sonim's proprietary Rugged Performance Standards (RPS), MIL-STD-810H military specifications, and IP68 certifications, ensuring flawless operation in virtually any condition³. The MIL-STD-810H standard guarantees resilience against drops, vibrations and other impacts, while the IP68 rating provides superior protection against water and dust ingress. Beyond these certifications, Sonim's RPS adds an extra layer of durability by subjecting the device to a rigorous use case-scenario tests, including thermal shocks, chemical exposure, and pressure resistance. These features make the Sonim H700 ideal for construction and mining sites, emergency field locations, and outdoor activities and businesses.

Long-Lasting Power and Management

The 6000mAh removable battery provides extended use and doubles as a power bank⁴. 'No Battery' and 'Battery Conservation' modes ensure uninterrupted operation during outages. The intuitive touchscreen simplifies management of advanced networking features, while automatic power-on with power sensing ensures reliable, unsupervised connectivity. Plus, this IT-friendly solution includes advanced configurations like LAN/DHCP settings, IP passthrough, DNS, firewall, MAC/IP filtering, port forwarding, DMZ, and VPN passthrough.
