AUSTIN, Texas, May 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonim
Technologies (Nasdaq: SONM) partnered with leading
communications providers, Cradlepoint, Inmarsat Government, JPS
Interoperability Solutions and Rajant, to launch the Rapid
Deployment Kit (RDK-3).
The RDK-3 is an all-in-one, portable communication solution
designed to provide emergency and public safety teams with reliable
access and connectivity, in even the most dangerous and remote
mission-critical situations. Housed in a rugged carrying case, the
RDK-3 contains four Sonim XP8 Android smartphones, Cradlepoint
wireless router, 15.6 Ah battery and a Bluetooth enabled battery
monitoring system to maintain power in emergency situations.
Cellular, GPS and Wi-Fi antenna create a 300-foot "connectivity
bubble," establishing reliable communications wherever the RDK is
deployed.
"Wildfires, hurricanes and other natural disasters pose
communication challenges for first responders ranging from limited
or no access to a network to lack of expertise required to set up
network connectivity," said John
Graff, CMO, Sonim Technologies. "The RDK-3 can be
transported easily to remote locations and deployed quickly by
first responders without the need for extensive training or IT
experience."
Following are key features of the RDK:
- Compatibility with leading Push-to-Talk (PTT) applications
- Mobile operator agnostic
- Supports public safety networks, including FirstNet
- FirstNet Ready® Cradlepoint wireless router provides a Wireless
Wide-Area Network (WAN) that can intelligently route traffic across
LTE (two SIMs) or satellite links, and Wi-Fi connectivity for XP8
handsets, PCs, tablets and other equipment
- Optional intelligent failover to reliable satellite capability
via Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) enables
communication when no other coverage is available.
- Bridge PTT and LMR communications with the optional JPS
Interoperability Solutions RSP-Z2 Gateway, which provides a direct
connection for up to 2 land mobile donor radios, to manage and
control LMR communications from XP8 handsets
- Extend coverage and range with optional Rajant Kinetic Mesh®
