Reliability

People living active lifestyles need durable, reliable devices. No matter how often they are clicked on and off the abutment or how often the controls are used, Ponto processors keep right on going.

 

Wear-resistant coupling

Connecting to the outside of the abutment, Ponto's strong
metalspring coupling is designed to withstand the rigors of
daily connection and disconnection without breaking down
or impairing the transfer of the signal. Tests show that the
components remain intact even after three times the wear
expected in the product's lifetime.

  • The metal spring ensures long-term functionality

  • The optimized polymer contact material has generous contact surfaces for long-term durability

  • The coupling ensures high-performance sound transmission 

  • Connecting and disconnecting the device is easy

Vibrator protection system

Thanks to a built-in vibrator protection system the Ponto system is designed to withstand endless connections/disconnections during the products life time. This design prevents the connection forces on the coupling from being transferred to the vital parts (vibrator) inside the sound processor – a key component of the device.

 


Water resistant nano coating

With a special nano coating that offers enhanced resistance to water, moisture and dirt, Ponto offers reliable performance, day after day.


Mobile compatibility

Conforming to the very latest standards, Ponto processors are fully compatible with cell phones and wireless landline phones. Now users can enjoy mobile communication without being disturbed by noise or distortion.


 

Smart battery management

This system is designed to optimize performance with all quality batteries - including the new mercury-free zinc air batteries. It also provides a warning well in advance of the battery needing replacement. 


 

Tested from top to bottom

Ponto processors are subjected to over 30 different reliability tests - from humidity and drop tests to electromagnetic compatibility tests - to confirm their ability to support and active lifestyle.

Reliability tests

“In quality tests the coupling has been subjected to up to three times the wear expected in its five-year lifetime, with the coupling forces remaining virtually unaffected. And in drop tests, where the processor hits a concrete floor from a height of one meter, the mechanics remain completely intact and the electroacoustic performance remains stable.”
