Sonim Direct Mode for XP5s

Sonim XPand Connector extends the capabilities of the handset through rugged attached peripherals, such as XPand Direct Mode for off-network communication. Sonims XPand Direct Mode works as a long-range link between other XPand Direct Mode users, for up to a mile over the 900MHz ISM band. This allows for reliable off-network Push-to-Talk (PTT) and text messaging. It seamlessly attaches to the top of the handset and screws into each side, providing the most reliable connectivity and fit.
