Rally World Champion Annie Seel Selects Ruggedized Sonim XP1 GSM Phone for Dakar Race



    Sonim Technologies, the leader in mobile VoIP and push-to-talk IMS
    solutions for operators and the global provider of high-performance
    mobile VoIP applications and devices, today announced that rally world
    champion and Dakar Race class winner Annie Seel has selected the
    ruggedized Sonim XP1 handset as her team handset for the now ongoing
    Dakar race. Annie Seel will be supported by the Challenge 75 team. The
    Dakar race exposes drivers and their equipment to very harsh
    conditions, including sand and high temperatures.

    "I choose all my equipment with reliability as the first
    criterion," said Annie Seel. "In my opinion, there is no other GSM
    phone on the market today that is even close to being as ruggedized as
    the Sonim XP1. Obviously I, as well as my equipment, must be able to
    take a few hits during the race. The phones my team and I use must
    also be sand and water resistant."

    Sonim's unique XP1 handset is the first ruggedized, IP52-compliant
    handset to double as a GSM phone and as an OMA PoC standards compliant
    push-to-talk terminal. The Sonim XP1 is designed with such features as
    extra large interface buttons, an oversized screen for better
    visibility outdoors, a high volume loudspeaker and extended battery
    life.

    "We designed the Sonim XP1 handset with professional users in mind
    -- those who need to be able to rely on their equipment also in more
    exposed conditions," said Johan Bergstrom, Sr. Director, Europe, at
    Sonim. "Needless to say, the standard user may not be as tough as
    Annie Seel. We are honored that Annie selected our device and look
    forward to her successful Dakar race."
