Jointly developed by Elbit Systems and Sonim Technologies, the SnapTT is a ruggedized GSM phone that is IEC IP-54 certified, water-resistant and MIL-Spec approved, capable of withstanding the extreme conditions typical of rescue and tactical operations. The SnapTT includes a built-in GPS and is capable of withstanding shock-drops of up to three meters. Designed to withstand uni-directional water projections and exposure, the SnapTT has a temperature operating range from -20°C to +60°C.

The SnapTT is equipped with a high-performance voice security solution ensuring minimal voice latency. The device also includes data encryption and authentication technology to ensure a secure path for GPS coordinates and data files.
