Snom expands its M5xx series with the robust, IP67 certified M56 DECT end device

Snom, the premium brand for professional IP-based communication, has launched the new M56 mobile phone to complete its M5xx product series.

The M56 has been specially developed for use in challenging work environments. The robust, dust- and waterproof casing provides reliable protection, while the rubberised, antibacterial surface ensures a safe and secure grip. The generous 2.4-inch colour display offers clear visuals,  and a large keypad makes the device easy to use - even when wearing work gloves. Verified by its IP67 certification, the M56 is splash-proof, resistant to brief drops into water, dust or mud – which means the device is ideal for use in workshops, construction sites, or outside areas.

Another highlight of the M56 is its seamless integration into the Snom M500 eco-system. Settings can be easily managed via an M500 base station using zero-touch provisioning. Software updates are made wirelessly, so that the device is always up to date.

The M56 supports the best safety practices in the workplace thanks to its advanced protective features. An integrated alarm button, ‘man down’ function, and built-in torch offer additional protection and make the device particularly suited to lone workers.

With an impressive call time of 12 hours in HD audio quality and support for Bluetooth headphones, the M56 is the perfect addition to the M500 series. The handheld device also has “Shared Call Emulation” (SCE) and six functional keys, which can be programmed as needed. 
Oliver Wittig, Senior Application Manager at Snom, said: “With the M56 we’re offering a powerful and robust mobile phone that meets the requirements of demanding work environments and, at the same time, the highest level of user-friendliness. Like our other products in the M5xx series, the new M56 can be used flexibly and in particular enables operators of medium-sized warehouses, shops, and restaurants to benefit from cutting-edge telecommunications platforms and create a safe but flexible work environment.”
