Small Business Users

As small businesses grow more reliant upon mobile devices to support all of their daily activities, mobile devices are now more than ever being placed into situations and environments that are more prone to physical damage including screen breakage and water damage. We believe that this market is currently underserved with only higher cost devices offering the features that are needed. Sonim’s value proposition will be to offer an overall lower total cost of ownership as a small business will not need to lose valuable downtime and money repairing or replacing their device as often as other devices in the market. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we launched a new semi-rugged smartphone that is sleeker and lighter than our ultra-rugged phones. These phones will be targeted at small business users.

Home and Small Business Internet Users

Mobile hotspots are used by businesses, government employees and consumers. Having the ability to access the internet (and at times share the connection) in a secure way wherever the customers go is essential to many users. Whether it is a salesperson visiting their customers, a police officer using their computer in their patrol car, a small business in need of failover for business continuity in the event of an internet outage, a student working on a paper or a family going on vacation, the need for reliable internet has become a necessity in today’s world. Mobile hotspots provide the perfect vehicle for enabling these use cases. We will be launching additional mobile hotspots in 2025.

Fixed wireless access provides an economical way for operators to quickly deploy internet to new customers without having to lay costly new cable or fiber. This service is used by businesses and consumers alike. Historically internet connectivity was effectively a monopoly business with major fixed wireline operators dividing up the country. Consumers had little choice when it came to options for internet service. With 5G, wireless operators are using fixed wireless access as a way to add new revenue streams to their businesses. Additionally, fixed wireline operators are using fixed wireless access as a way to quickly deploy to rural areas that were not served by cable companies.
