Mission critical Push To Talk that just won't quit.

Sonim Direct Mode is a special accessory and application that creates a localized network between users who are .5 to 1 mile* apart. The Sonim Direct Mode app lets you talk by two–way radio, text, use maps, and share your location with other Sonim Direct Mode app users who are within range of your localized network. Each time you use voice, text, or location sharing in the app, the data is sent directly through this network.

Sonim Direct Mode is there when you have no cellular or Wi–Fi service.

A Sonim Direct Mode network operates independently of cellular or Wi–Fi. It connects to other Direct Mode users when they are within range of the localized network.

Anytime you are in a location without cellular –– rural environments, forests, within large buildings, inside tunnels, or when cellular coverage is down like in a major storm or other emergencies –– use Sonim Direct Mode for 2–way radio, text, or location sharing.

Get started with off–network communications for your team.

Once you have purchased the Sonim Direct Mode accessory, there are no additional charges to take advantage of off–network communications. You can purchase the Direct Mode accessory for your XP8 from a Southern Linc Dealer, sales representative or online.

*Actual range and voice quality depend on usage area's environment, location, terrain and area interference. Direct Mode cannot guarantee transmission 100% of the time. With more Direct Mode users, the opportunity of a missed call increases. Confirmation of Direct Mode transmissions via text or voice is encouraged.
