Why Built in Safety Matters

Fighting fires is dangerous; fighting explosions is deadly.  Unexpected disasters can happen anywhere, at any time.  

This summer in England, the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Services were called to a street with several small fires.  Thankfully, they were able to save all the occupants but seconds after everyone was safely evacuated, a horrific explosion tore through the row of houses, leaving some of the houses completely demolished and others severely damaged. Amazingly, only one firefighter had minor injuries, and everyone walked away from this potentially, very lethal disaster.  Check out the frightening video photo here ---- see video.

A senior manager for West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Services said: “If the house had exploded only seconds earlier, there is no doubt in my mind that it would have killed or seriously injured the occupants and the firefighters who were risking their lives to rescue them.”

Incidents like these emphasize exactly why we engineer our phones to be ultra-rugged with built in safety applications to ensure that firefighters (or any worker who operates in dangerous environments) are safe and efficient.  Cheers to the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Services for doing their job: Saving Lives.

My Personal Sonim Story: The Chemist

Today we have another fantastic testimonial from Geert Van Sebroeck, a chemist from the Netherlands. Enjoy!

 

(Taken with his Sonim XP3 Quest Pro)

 

"I specifically chose the Sonim XP3 Quest Pro because of its robustness and its ability to shrug of dust and water, since it is mostly used in very dusty environments, such as rooms where powders are weighted and mixed. When my handset gets too dusty, I just hold it under the tap and cleanse it with water.

It has already been to Croatia with me and during mountain walks it managed to get a connection where most other handsets failed to get reception.

I’d recommend this phone to all people that could use it for their jobs, the high cost put me off recommending it to people with less demanding jobs.

It’s not heavy for its size, but it is big.

Before I had my Sonim, I was afraid to just use my handset. That’s gone now."
