NEXA, a leader in Android for the enterprise, today announced that the Sonim XP Pro Thermal 5G smartphone, the latest addition to its flagship XP Pro series, is now available exclusively with AT&T and for public safety on FirstNet®, Built with AT&T. This professional rugged solution blends 5G connectivity, integrated thermal imaging, and exceptional durability into a sleek design that empowers emergency professionals to work smarter, faster, and more efficiently, no matter the challenge or environment.


“There is no more critical use case for wireless connectivity than with today’s first responders,” said Robert Morcos, CEO at NEXA. “We’re thrilled to work with AT&T as the XP Pro Thermal is the ideal addition to the service’s device portfolio. With the XP Pro Thermal, you replace bulky standalone devices with an all-in-one solution that is compact, cost-effective, and ready to go wherever the job takes you.” 


Professional-Grade Imaging Meets 5G Performance

The XP Pro Thermal raises the bar with FLIR Lepton® 3.5 thermal imaging powered by the Snapdragon® 7 Gen 3 chipset. This combination enables capturing, analyzing, sharing, and live-streaming thermal data over 5G networks for real-time decision-making. When paired with AT&T’s Push-to-Talk over Cellular options, the Thermal becomes an even more powerful communication tool. Enhanced with Teledyne FLIR’s MSX® technology, the thermal imaging system overlays visible-light details on heat maps for exceptional context.


“We are dedicated to working with manufacturers like NEXA to deliver a device that truly redefines what it means to be a business-grade mobile tool,” said Nazanin Hoglund, Assistant Vice President of Mobility Devices and Converged Products, AT&T Business. “By pairing AT&T’s powerful 5G network with the integrated thermal imaging of the XP Pro Thermal, we’re providing our enterprise and public safety customers with a rugged, high-performance device that replaces multiple bulky tools. This is about more than just connectivity; it’s about providing actionable data and enhanced situational awareness to workers in the most demanding environments.”


Built to Endure

The XP Pro Thermal combines a long-lasting 5000 mAh battery with fast-charge and wireless charging to keep professionals ready all day long. Designed to Sonim Rugged Performance Standards™ (RPS), it withstands water, dust, shocks, and extreme temperatures. The slim, ergonomic design, Gorilla® Glass Victus II®-protected 6.58” FHD+ display, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage (expandable up to 1TB1), and Android 14 make it a versatile, tough solution for everyday use.
