by Brianna Crandall — May 30, 2011—Sonim Technologies, global providers of rugged phones, recently announced a preview of the Sonim XP3340 Sentinel mobile phone, a lone worker safety solution that the company says provides users with the longest GPS tracking time of any mobile phone. Designed especially for security guards, FM personnel and traffic wardens, the XP3340 Sentinel will help keep remote workers safe while in isolated and hazardous environments.
The leading U.K. providers of lone worker solutions and monitoring services: Argyll, Guardian24, Peoplesafe, Professional Witnesses, SafeLinq , SiteXOrbis and Trackaphone will offer an end-to-end safety solution with the XP3340 Sentinel that also includes an emergency response call center. The phone will be available starting from July 2011 to the U.K. security and FM sector though the partners above.
The XP3340 Sentinel offers a higher resolution screen, longer battery life, and several additional lone worker capabilities than the previous edition. The phone enhances safety by enabling calls under the worst conditions, with strong antenna performance, the “industry’s longest” talk time of 20 to 24 hours and 800 hours of standby time, an active noise-canceling microphone, loud audio, and the advanced man-down accelerometer technology first seen in the Sonim XP3 Sentinel.
Sonim says the phone also meets the device requirements of British Standard BS8484 for Lone Worker Devices and Monitoring Stations and surpasses the U.K. military specifications for durability and water resistance. Sonim’s U.K. partners have used these capabilities to ensure the complete solution meets and exceeds the duty-of-care requirements under U.K. law, toughened in 2008 with the Corporate Manslaughter Act.
