TC2010-0S3S6BA00-NA | Zebra TC201 Rugged Android Mobile Computer with Wi-Fi 7 and 5G
The Zebra TC201 mobile computer brings updated processing, connectivity, data capture, and security capabilities to retail, transportation, field service, warehouse, and light-manufacturing operations. As the next-generation model in Zebra’s cost-effective TC2x Series, the TC201 gives frontline employees a durable Android device for barcode scanning, inventory transactions, customer service, communications, and mobile business applications.
Powered by the Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-6690 processor, the Zebra TC201 delivers up to 150% greater performance than legacy TC21, TC26, TC22, and TC27 devices. Available configurations include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and 5G Release 17 cellular connectivity, allowing businesses to select a device suited to indoor facilities, field operations, or mixed environments.
Multiple data-capture configurations expand the TC201 beyond conventional short-range scanning. Buyers can choose the SR500 standard-range scan engine, an SR560 angled scanner in supported regions, or the AC670 advanced-range color scan engine for capturing 1D and 2D barcodes from as far as 100 feet away. Select configurations also add integrated short-range UHF RFID.
Zebra TC201 at a Glance
- Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-6690 processor: Runs at up to 2.0 GHz and supports concurrent frontline applications without relying on consumer-grade hardware.
- Three dedicated scanning options: Match the device to standard-range, angled, or advanced-range barcode-capture requirements.
- Up to 100-foot scanning: The optional AC670 engine captures distant 1D and 2D barcodes and high-resolution color images.
- Wi-Fi 7 and optional 5G: Maintains access to cloud applications, inventory systems, voice tools, and business data across facilities and field routes.
- IP65 and IP68 sealing: Helps protect the TC201 against dust and water exposure in demanding indoor and outdoor workflows.
- Replaceable battery options: Choose a 3,800 mAh standard battery or 5,200 mAh extended battery; hot-swap operation is available on select SKUs.
- Six-inch FHD+ display: The 2160 × 1080 touchscreen supports bare or lightly gloved input and rejects unintended input from water droplets.
- TC22 and TC27 accessory compatibility: Reuse most existing batteries and charging cradles when migrating from supported TC2x deployments.
Processing, Memory and Mobile Application Performance
The TC201 combines its Qualcomm processor with either 6 GB RAM and 64 GB flash storage or 8 GB RAM and 128 GB flash storage. A user-accessible microSD slot supports cards up to 2 TB, providing additional capacity for offline records, images, documents, and application data.
The Android operating system provides a familiar interface while supporting enterprise deployment and management. Zebra DNA Core software is preloaded, giving organizations access to foundational Zebra tools for configuring, securing, and operating their devices. Additional licensed Zebra DNA and Workcloud capabilities can support application development, network monitoring, identity management, device location, workforce communication, and centralized software administration.
Barcode Scanning and RFID Configuration Choices
The appropriate TC201 scanner depends on working distance, device orientation, and the types of assets being identified:
- SR500 1D/2D scan engine: Designed for everyday barcode capture in retail, inventory, receiving, and general mobility applications.
- AC670 advanced-range color scan engine: Reads 1D and 2D barcodes from near contact to as far as 100 feet and captures high-resolution color images.
- SR560 60-degree angled scan engine: Supports an alternative scanning posture and is offered in APAC and Latin America.
- Camera-based scanning: Available for occasional barcode-capture requirements on configurations without a dedicated scanner.
- Integrated UHF RFID: Select models read more than 200 tags per second at distances up to 3.94 feet.
The TC201 also includes a 16 MP autofocus rear camera, 5 MP front camera, and extensive NFC support. These features can assist with document capture, proof-of-condition records, video communication, contactless transactions, and identity-related workflows.
Built for Frontline Environments
The standard TC201 exceeds MIL-STD-810H testing for five-foot drops to concrete across its specified test temperature range and six-foot drops at room temperature. When fitted with a rugged boot, supported configurations withstand drops of up to seven feet at room temperature. The device is also rated for 750 tumbles at 1.6 feet, or 750 tumbles at 3.3 feet with the rugged boot.
IP65 and IP68 sealing helps protect internal components from water and dust. Corning Gorilla Glass protects both the display and scanner exit window, while an operating range of -4°F to 122°F supports indoor, outdoor, and sub-zero deployments.
Wireless Connectivity and Communication
Wi-Fi 7 connectivity supports the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands, including multi-link operation for simultaneous multi-band communication. The TC201 remains backward compatible with earlier Wi-Fi generations, allowing organizations to upgrade mobile devices without requiring an immediate network replacement.
WWAN configurations support 5G NR Sub-6, LTE, dual SIM/dual standby operation, one physical SIM, and dual eSIM capability. Bluetooth 6.0 connects the device to compatible headsets, printers, scanners, and other peripherals. An integrated secondary BLE beacon can work with licensed Zebra Device Guardian software to help locate misplaced devices.
Advanced AI-based audio processing reduces acoustic echo and background noise during calls or voice-directed tasks. Stereo speakers, two microphones, push-to-talk support, VoLTE, VoNR, and VoIP capabilities make the TC201 suitable for both data and workforce-communication applications.
