Industry’s first rugged 5G millimeter wave mobile hotspot now available for Verizon business, government, and Frontline customers 

San Diego – November 5, 2024 – Sonim Technologies (Nasdaq: SONM), a leader in rugged mobile solutions, today announced availability of the Sonim H500 5G Mobile Hotspot at Verizon Wireless (Sonim H500 5G for Business | Verizon). As the industry's first rugged 5G millimeter wave hotspot, this device is engineered to redefine reliable connectivity for Verizon customers. 

In an era where reliable, secure, and fast internet connectivity is not a luxury but a necessity, the Sonim H500 5G Mobile Hotspot delivers. Featuring Wi-Fi 6E and Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband1 technology, it ensures faster speeds, reduced latency, and expansive coverage. Its rugged design, equipped with an Ethernet port, delivers reliability for versatile use at work, home, or on the go, making it ideal for both mobile and stationary setups in challenging environments.  

“Sonim is setting new standards for mobile hotspots by providing a high-performance device that endures the toughest environments and delivers peace of mind—something our customers expect and deserve. As a brand trusted by Fortune 500, businesses, government, first responders, and prosumers for over 25 years, we’re proud that Verizon trusts Sonim to offer this robust mobile hotspot to their customers,” said Chuck Becher, Chief Commercial Officer at Sonim. 

Unyielding connectivity, anywhere 

Designed with Sonim’s hallmark durability, the Sonim H500 5G mobile hotspot is certified with IP68 and MIL-STD-810H ratings.

These ratings ensure the device’s unique durability and reliability, making it ideal for everything from life’s everyday challenges to critical applications in government, military, and industrial sectors.  

Dependable, secure connectivity 

For secure connectivity on the move, the Sonim H500 5G offers a portable Wi-Fi solution with a built-in firewall for up to 323 devices, ensuring comprehensive protection, especially since public connections are insecure and blocked by corporate networks. With tri-band, dual-band concurrent Wi-Fi 6E, users enjoy improved performance in high-density environments, enabling seamless 8K streaming and video conferencing. Additionally, the 1GB Ethernet port enables the H500 5G for stationary use, serve as a failover for wired broadband, or integrate with home routers. 

The Sonim H500 5G hotspot is a powerhouse for businesses, perfect for small offices, mobile setups, and industries such as manufacturing, construction, healthcare, and emergency services requiring high-speed, secure connectivity. Moreover, it meets Trade Agreements Act (TAA) criteria, making it eligible for U.S. government procurement, as preferred by some customers in Verizon Business and Frontline sectors.
