NFC World Congress, Sophia Antipolis, France – Sep 19, 2011 – Sonim Technologies announces the XP1301 CORE NFC, the world’s first ultra-rugged Near Field Communications (NFC) mobile phone. Designed especially for markets in cleaning, security guarding, facilities management, equipment maintenance and home visit healthcare. The XP1301 CORE NFC enhances services delivery quality assurance, provides real time business intelligence right from the client site and can improve the safety of field staff through indoor location positioning. Key applications supported by the XP1301 CORE NFC include Guard Tour Verification, Proof of Activity and Real Time Attendance reporting.
At NFC World Congress, Sonim is demonstrating the XP1301 CORE NFC, which is now available across Europe, at its stand 25B, Ground Floor – Agora Einstein.
At a class-leading range up to 4 centimetres, the XP1301 CORE NFC can read or write information to a contactless tag placed at various key locations at a client site, such as on:
an access gate that must be verified by a security guard to be locked
a wall of room that must be cleaned by cleaning service staff
a wall of an Alzheimer patients home to indicate they were visited by a nurse
on air conditioner to indicate it was inspected and serviced on a certain date
the ID badge of a worker to register who was on duty and when they started work
Data collected by the XP1301 CORE NFC is sent over the mobile network to a server that generates reports and alerts that can be used to optimize the efficiency, consistency and quality of service operations. Data returned to the phone and displayed on the screen can remind the worker of the next action to be taken. Since the position of the tags is known, the nearest worker or security guard can be mobilized to the location where immediate attention is needed.
“The XP1301 CORE NFC will withstand hard use every day for three years or more, has battery life under heavy use longer than the longest work shift and comes with enterprise level service and support”, said Sanjay Jhawar, VP/GM of Marketing and Applications at Sonim. He continued, “This kind of extreme reliability delivers a total cost of ownership that allows every front-line worker to be included”.
Inside Secure is Sonim’s key technology partner for NFC solutions. Philippe Martineau, EVP, NFC Business Line at Inside Secure said “INSIDE is proud to announce the integration of MicroRead™ and Open NFC™ with the ultra rugged Sonim XP1301 CORE NFC for vertical industry applications”.
Sonim is working with industry leading application partners and system integrators across Europe that specialize in NFC applications for security companies, cleaning and facilities management companies and home visit healthcare providers.
