1. Our Difference
  2. Rugged Performance Standards

Sonim rugged performance standards

When we set out to build Sonim phones, there were no standards for ultra-rugged mobile devices. So we created them.

A Higher, More Rigorous Set of Standards

We set the bar for rugged devices. Because in critical situations and fast-paced industries, failure isn’t an option. With over a decade of real-world feedback, Sonim's Rugged Performance Standards (RPS) set 12 benchmarks for durability and endurance.
