RAM Mounts Launches a new powered and keyed locking cradles for Sonim’s rugged handsets.

Sonim Technologies and RAM^® Mounts have teamed up to launch spring-loaded powered and locking cradles compatible with the XP8 and XP5s ultra-rugged handsets. This solution is ideal for public safety, transportation and field service installations to ensure devices are at the ready at a moment’s notice.

The combination of Sonim handsets and RAM Mounts support safe and productive transportation, providing increased accuracy of vehicle and driver data, simplified vehicle inspections and critical driver information for compliance with mandates established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

“The Sonim RAM Mounts solution helps facilitate compliance to Electronic Logging Device (ELD) regulation, which requires every commercial truck operating on U.S. highways and roads to have an electronic logging device to record hours of service,” said John Graff, CMO, Sonim Technologies.

Following are key features demonstrating compatibility with Sonim’s XP8 and XP5s:

• Single-handed docking, locking, and charging of phone
• Phone screen accessible while in the cradle holster
• Access to buttons and accessories like microphone attachments
• 2-hole AMPS mounting pattern compatible with RAM^® B and C size bases
• Backed by 3-year warranty on phone cradle and lifetime warranty on mount

In addition, the current COVID-19 outbreak is making mobile hygiene critical to frontline workers. To minimize the risk of contamination, Sonim devices and RAM^® Mounts can be cleaned and sanitized with bleach, isopropryl alcohol, and other disinfectants as needed—critical for high-touch use cases such as school and public transportation.
