The Ultimate Cost-Effective Touch Computer Built for Business

The TC21 and TC26 touch computers are value-priced devices designed specifically to give businesses of all sizes access to Zebra's best-in-class technology so they can compete effectively without breaking the bank. Backed by Zebra's heritage as a global market leader, the TC21 and TC26 are built with the quality, features and capabilities to support efficient operations for multiple applications and industries. They include a high-resolution 13-megapixel camera, large 5-inch HD touchscreen and removable/replaceable batteries. Plus, they stand up to tough conditions. Drops to concrete, snow, rain, heat, freezing cold—the waterproof and dustproof TC21/TC26 can handle it all.

Multiple configurations at different price points let customers pay only for the features their workers need. The WiFi-only TC21 is ideal for work inside the four walls, while the WiFi/cellular TC26 provides maximum flexibility for applications beyond the four walls such as field service and delivery. These affordable devices are matched by an equally affordable Zebra OneCare™ SV support contract.

Get all the features of the TC26, now with support for the newest wireless technology, Citizens Band Radio Service (CBRS). With comprehensive wireless networking, no matter what wireless networking technology workers encounter throughout a shift, they can connect to it all—WiFi, cellular, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC and CBRS. CBRS enables the easy extension of robust wireless services in expansive environments, such as seaports, rail yards, campus-style hospital environments, resorts, golf courses and more, easily covering thousands of acres—outdoors, as well as in every corner of every building. And since one CBRS base station can cover the same area as up to 10 WiFi access points, there is less infrastructure to purchase, deploy and maintain, enabling cost-effective wireless coverage in the largest enterprise environments.

Customers can tailor data capture options to suit their business, whether workers are capturing barcodes all day every day or only occasionally. Because the removable battery can power an entire shift—or even a double shift of 14 hours—workers never have to take the device out of service.

The TC21 and TC26 deliver great value and a low cost of ownership without compromising quality. Every device comes equipped with Mobility DNA Professional, a set of tools that transform Android™ into an enterprise-ready force. For a small fee, unlock a set of powerful advanced tools that take workforce productivity and device management simplicity to a new level with Mobility DNA Enterprise license. Also, with the familiar Android OS, workers need very little training.

A New Level of Features for a Value-Priced Device
You get consumer cell phone pricing but big business features, including a durable design, Android 10 - loaded with new powerful business features, wireless connections and a large 5-inch HD display, plus superior voice quality over cellular (TC26 only) and WiFi networks, all in a lightweight right-sized device designed for one-handed operation.
The Most Options to Customize Your Devices for the Job
For scan intensive tasks, choose from two dedicated scan engines. Get up to 14 hours of power for a double shift with the extended battery. Support technicians in the feild with a 5MP front camera for video calling. A wearable wrist mount provides comfortable hands-free operation - and Zebra's RS5100 Bluetooth ring scanner adds hands-free scanning.

And you can unlock powerful advanced tools that take workforce productivity and device management simplicity to a new level with the optional Mobility DNA Enterprise License.
