TC26BK-11B212-A6 

Zebra TC26 Rugged Mobile Computer (TC26BK-11B212-A6)

The Zebra TC26BK-11B212-A6 is a cost-effective, rugged Android mobile computer designed to bridge the gap between consumer smartphones and high-end enterprise devices. Engineered for small to medium-sized businesses and field service operations, this "right-sized" device delivers the durability, scanning capabilities, and wireless connectivity required for demanding workflows. With integrated WWAN (cellular) capabilities, it allows workers to access systems and communicate in real-time, whether they are inside the warehouse or out in the field.

Enterprise-Grade Durability in a Compact Form Factor

While the TC26 features a modern, lightweight design similar to a consumer smartphone, it is built to withstand the rigors of daily commercial use. Weighing just 236 grams and measuring 13.7 mm in depth, it is portable enough for extended handheld use without causing worker fatigue.

Despite its slim profile, the device boasts an IP67 sealing rating, rendering it virtually waterproof and dustproof. It is engineered to survive drops to concrete and can endure operation in rain, snow, or extreme heat. The 5-inch high-definition touchscreen is protected by Gorilla Glass, ensuring visibility indoors and out while resisting scratches and shattering.

Professional SE4100 2D Barcode Scanning

Unlike consumer devices that rely on slow, camera-based scanning apps, the TC26BK-11B212-A6 is equipped with an integrated SE4100 enterprise-class scan engine. This 2D imager delivers split-second capture of printed and electronic barcodes in virtually any condition—damaged, dirty, or poorly printed.

• Versatility: Captures 1D, 2D, and QR codes with precision.
• Efficiency: The dedicated scan engine frees up the processor for other tasks, maintaining device speed during scan-intensive workflows.
• DataWedge: Integrated Zebra software allows scanned data to populate any application field automatically without custom coding.

Seamless Connectivity for Field Mobility

The TC26 is the cellular-enabled version of Zebra's cost-effective series, making it the superior choice for logistics, delivery drivers, and field technicians. The device supports WWAN (Cellular) connectivity, ensuring workers remain connected to backend systems beyond the four walls of the facility. Additionally, it features reliable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0 for peripheral pairing, and NFC for tap-to-pair functionality and ID verification.

Performance and Architecture

Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 octa-core 1.8 GHz processor, the TC26 ensures responsive application performance. This model comes configured with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of Flash memory, providing ample headroom for modern business applications. Running on Android 10 (with upgrade support), it offers a familiar interface for users, reducing training time and accelerating adoption.

Camera and Power Management

This specific configuration features a high-resolution 13 MP rear camera capable of capturing proof-of-delivery photos, documentation of damaged goods, and barcode backup. Note: This model (TC26BK-11B212-A6) is configured without a front-facing camera to optimize cost for operations that do not require video calling features.

The device utilizes a removable battery design, a critical advantage over consumer phones with sealed batteries. This allows for continuous operation across multiple shifts by simply swapping in a charged battery. The unit ships with a standard basic battery, optimized for typical shift requirements.
