According to the company’s announcement, Terra M rugged phone is becoming available in select European markets. HMD states that the phone is a fully managed communications ecosystem designed for operational excellence from the beginning.
The official press release has it that Terra M is especially made for professional workers who rely on durable, reliable, secure connectivity on the job. This ranges from hospitals and construction sites to airports, security teams and first responders.
It’s IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H rated. It features a 2.8″ glove-friendly touchscreen, a 2,510 mAh battery, large physical keys, loud high output audio, 4G connectivity, and dual SIM/eSIM support with hotspot mode. It’s not only a phone, it’s also a completely managed communications solution. It promises to receive five years of quarterly security updates.
The Terra M has the capacity to combine low-cost IoT SIM and eSIM connectivity. It does that with professional Push-to-Talk (PTT) over cellular, secure communications and device management. Connectivity plans for it are available from Lyfo, delivering resilient service through intelligent network switching across carriers to ensure reliable coverage across borders and in high-risk as well as remote environments.
HMD’s enterprise customers can deploy the Terra M with Mobile Device Management solutions from Springdel and SOTI, with new partners to be announced soon. PTT services are provided by Zello and Mobile Tornado, providing secure, interoperable group communications with dedicated programmable and emergency hardware keys.
The phone also supports Threema for end-to-end encrypted messaging, Joplin for secure note-taking and knowledge management, and OsmAnd for privacy-first online and offline navigation. This is very helpful for those operating in disconnected or restricted environments.
