Hollywood, Florida — April 28, 2026 — NEXA today announced the availability of the Sonim XP5plus 5G, its fourth‑generation XP5 series device, purpose‑built for mission‑critical communication across enterprise environments, public safety, government, and military. Available through AT&T Business and also FirstNet Ready®, the XP5plus 5G delivers a powerful combination of ultra‑rugged durability, 5G connectivity, and true land mobile radio (LMR) interoperability—at a fraction of the cost of traditional radios.
The XP5 series has a long‑proven track record across demanding verticals including industrial enterprises, firstresponders, SLED and federal government agencies, defense, utilities, and transportation. The new XP5plus 5G builds on that success, advancing the platform with faster performance, enhanced PTT capabilities, and future‑ready connectivity.
“The launch of the Sonim XP5plus 5G marks the fourth generation of a product line that has consistently proven its value for critical communications,” said Robert Morcos, CEO of NEXA. “This next‑generation device reflects strong customer retention and growing demand for a solution that delivers true mission‑critical performance, exceptional durability, and superior ROI—powered by a Qualcomm platform, built by a U.S. OEM, and not manufactured in China. Simply put, it outperforms other devices in its class.”
A true, future-ready two-way radio for LMR interop—without the cost
Traditional Land Mobile Radios (LMR) LMR radios can cost several times more per device, frequently reaching several thousands of dollars per unit, require expensive proprietary networks, and drive ongoing infrastructure, licensing, and replacement costs. At a fraction of the cost of traditional LMR radios, the XP5plus 5G delivers compelling ROI by combining a rugged cellular-based feature phone and mission‑critical radio into a single device—while interoperating with existing LMR systems. With the XP5plus 5G, users can send and receive texts, photos, and video with SMS/MMS, share media files instantly over PTT, make phone calls, and share a mobile hotspot connection in a pinch, with the same simplistic functionality of a radio and basic phone.
With support for AT&T Enhanced PTT, FirstNet® Rapid Response, and FirstNet® Mission‑Critical PTT (MCPTT)via the soon to be available FirstNet Fusion, teams gain more seamless communication across LTE/5G/Wi‑Fi with nationwide coverage and no proprietary radio infrastructure to maintain.
