The ultra-rugged mobile computer is re-imagined for the new age of mobility
Zebra Technologies has launched a new generation of ultra-rugged mobile computers designed to empower frontline staff to deliver a performance edge, whether they’re in the warehouse, loading dock or out making deliveries. The TC73/TC78 mobile computers can stream video and calls, feature intuitive multimedia-rich apps, and augmented reality apps that enable new, more effective workflows. The devices are built to handle three-metre drops to concrete yet are lighter and nearly 20 per cent thinner in the grip area.
The advanced industrial design, ergonomics and exceptional balance provides all day comfort — these devices are easy to hold, grip, and use for any size hand. Your workers can run all the apps they need simultaneously with the first-class Qualcomm 6490 octa-core processor, memory, and storage. The 6-inch edge-to-edge advanced display is the largest in this product class – easily visible indoors, outdoors and in the wet.
Workers can access the fastest and most reliable wireless connections with Wi-Fi 6E, 5Gand Bluetooth 5.2 – all of which deliver much higher signal quality and use less power than other connections. The standard, extended capacity, wireless charge and BLE batteries all power more than a full shift and provide the intelligence to manage batteries better. And while there are multi-slot cradles for cost-effective backroom management, the TC73/TC78 can be charged anywhere with a standard USB-C charging cable.
With Zebra Dimensioning™ Certified Mobile Parcel and Mobile Parcel, an integrated Time of Flight depth sensor collects accurate ‘legal for trade’ parcel dimensioning in just seconds. Ideal at the point of parcel pickup and drop-off locations, these solutions eliminate the inaccuracies in dimensions that lead to undercharging and lost profits.
The TC73/TC78 takes audio quality to the next level for callers on both ends. Comprehensive features work together to deliver extraordinary audio clarity: three microphones with noise cancellation to strip out background noise, two speakers for loudness, as well as a high-quality speakerphone and HD voice with Super-wideband (SWB), Wideband (WB) and Fullband (FB) support.
When it comes to data capture, you can expect a choice of two high-performance scan engines. The SE4770 1D/2D scan engine is ideal for workers that need a standard scanning range. The SE55 1D/2D Advanced Range scan engine with IntelliFocus™ technology is ideal for workers who need to capture barcodes in hand and up to 12.2m away. Both scanners capture barcodes in virtually any condition and lighting and are rated for one million actuations.
With SimulScan NG, one press of the scan button can capture all barcodes on an item and process and send information on documents right to your applications. Superior camera technology enables high-quality capture of photos and videos for reliable evidence of proof of delivery, condition, repair and more. The 16 MP rear colour camera, flash LED, High Dynamic Range (HDR), and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) make it easy to capture highly detailed images every time.
The TC73/TC78 can be dropped into a Workstation Connect cradle to connect to a large monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer and more, simultaneously operating as a handheld computer and workstation. If you need RFID, you can choose between two lightning-fast ultra-rugged sleds that can be connected in three different ways — Bluetooth, NFC, or Zebra’s eConnect™ adapter. The RFD9030 sled offers a standard read range of 6.7m, and the RFD9090 offers an extended read range of 22.9m. The TC73/TC78 can also be used as two-way radios or a PBX handset with a custom interface that makes the most complex telephony features simple – inside your facility or out in the field.
With Zebra-only Mobility DNATM tools, your TC73 and TC78 mobile computers deliver an unmatched advantage – a comprehensive toolset improving every aspect of the device lifecycle, integration, security, speed, and management.
