TC201 Mobile Computer
The new standard in cost-effective mobile computing for the frontline
Take frontline productivity to a new level with the TC201, the next generation TC2x Series that resets the bar for cost-effective mobile computers. This updated platform delivers a substantial performance leap over legacy devices1, giving workers the speed required for modern operations. The familiar, ergonomic design boasts class-leading ruggedness for unparalleled indoor and outdoor reliability, plus support for cloud-based AI applications. The fastest cellular and Wi-Fi connections keep workers connected—5G 3rd Gen Release 17 and Wi-Fi 7. Unmatched enterprise-grade security features protect your devices, data and networks. Enable powerful new use cases with optional RFID2 and a new advanced range scanner5 that captures barcodes up to 100 ft. (30 m) away, plus the versatility to capture high-resolution color images. And with backward compatibility with most TC2x accessories, migrating to this next evolution device is easy—and affordable.
Next generation power, durability and security
Exceptional processing power for exceptional app performance
The TC201 delivers an incredible leap in performance—up to 150%+ over legacy TC2x devices.1 Now, workers can run all the apps they need, simultaneously.
Keep your devices safe with multiple layers of enterprise-class security
Get timely OS updates to stay on top of emerging security threats with LifeGuard™ for Android™ 3. Enable facial recognition for device access with Identity Guardian4. The built-in Bluetooth BLE beacon works with Device Guardian4 to locate lost devices—no BLE batteries required.
Shield sensitive data and prevent physical hardware attacks with the optional Android Strongbox/Secure Element.5 Bring government-grade security to your business with FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria Certification.
The most rugged and reliable TC2 Series device
The TC201 takes its place as the most rugged TC2 Series device. The waterproof and dustproof device now handles higher drops and 50% more tumbles1, driving reliability up. Now built for sub-zero temperatures as low as -4°F (-20°C), the TC201 is ideal for workers indoors and out in the field. Two of the most vulnerable components are protected with scratch- and shatter-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass—the display and the scanner exit window.
Cost-effective upgrade with backwards accessory compatibility
Maximize your investment by reusing existing TC22/TC27 accessories, including batteries and charging cradles, while a new boot and screen protector improve durability. For new deployments, high-density ShareCradles reduce backroom footprint, while modular attachments, including a trigger handle or wearable arm mount quickly adapt the TC201 for intensive scanning or hands-free tasks.
Continuous uptime with perpetual power
Eliminate downtime and keep the TC201 in service all shift long with a user-removable battery and optional hot swap.⁵
Drive workforce productivity and workflow efficiency to the next level with the rugged TC201— the next generation in cost-effective mobile computing, reimagined for your frontline.

Get exceptional voice clarity with advanced AI audio
An advanced AI-based algorithm eliminates acoustic echoes and more background noises—even in environments that challenge traditional noise suppression technologies. Whether you’re speaking to a customer, a co-worker, a supervisor or a voice-enabled application, with advanced AI audio, you can count on crystal clear voice.
More ways to automate data capture
Built-in efficiency with built-in RFID2
Optional integrated RFID opens the door to powerful new use cases. Now workers can read 200 tags per second, up to 3.94 ft. (1.2 m)—with unmatched read sensitivity and accuracy, thanks to the advanced antenna design. Delivery drivers can locate the right package at each stop with the press of a button—and associates can pinpoint the location of a missing item quickly and easily with a Geiger-counter style function.
New best-in-class scanners
Choose the right scan engine for your specific workflow. The premium advanced-range AC670 scanner captures barcodes up to 100 ft. (30 m) away as well as high-resolution color images, streamlining data capture by eliminating the need to bend down or climb to scan. The SR500 standard range scanner features a high-visibility yellow LED aimer and red illumination for precise scanning. Both scanners offer an improved 2D barcode finder for fast and accurate barcode capture in any lighting condition, including bright sunlight, high motion tolerance for scanning on the move, and Zebra’s patented scanning technology to capture virtually any barcode, regardless of condition. For occasional scanning needs, a non-scanner model leverages the integrated camera instead of a dedicated scan engine.6
All the fastest wireless networks
Worldwide flexible cellular service
Enable cellular service anywhere in the world with 5G 3rd Gen Release 17. Support for private 5G, CBRS and simultaneous service on two networks provides complete cellular network flexibility. And private 5G network support is ideal for large areas where Wi-Fi may be too complex and costly to deploy.
Wi-Fi 7—setting new standards for Wi-Fi performance
Wi-Fi 7 doubles the speed, bandwidth, and device capacity of Wi-Fi 6 with HBS Multi-Link technology, which eliminates interference, maximizes throughput, and minimizes latency through simultaneous multi-band transmission.
Additionally, backward compatibility with the three previous Wi-Fi generations ensures cost-effective network upgrades.
Bluetooth 6—more reliable, more range, all with less power
Bluetooth 6 increases data speeds, range and security, all with reduced power consumption. Zebra DNA’s Device Central adds value by providing users and IT with easy control of Bluetooth accessories by simplifying pairing, unpairing, locating, and troubleshooting of all Bluetooth peripherals.
The Zebra difference—more value, more productivity
Boost functionality and efficiency with Zebra DNA—your software advantage
Easily set up, secure, and manage your devices right out of the box with Zebra DNA Core—no-cost fundamental software that is pre-loaded and ready to use on every TC201. Want to expand your Zebra DNA toolkit? Zebra DNA Core+4 takes frontline efficiency to the next level with premium tools that streamline data capture and better connect teams to strengthen collaboration.
Powerful Zebra-only tools for easy app development, wireless network management, device access and management of all your Zebra software
Additional high-value Zebra tools are available for licensing. Easily build custom apps that integrate all TC201 data capture features with Enterprise Browser. Monitor Wi-Fi and cellular network performance to identify and resolve issues before worker connectivity and productivity are impacted with Wireless Insights. Identity Guardian ensures only authorized users access your devices with facial biometrics and more. Quickly locate misplaced devices to prevent asset loss with Device Guardian. Manage all DNA apps from a single intuitive cloud-based interface with Zebra DNA Cloud. Automatically preconfigure devices with settings and apps the moment they are powered on with Zebra Zero Touch.
Triple device functionality and more with Zebra ready-to-use solutions
Add powerful communications capabilities with Zebra Workcloud Sync.6 Turn the TC201 into a 2-way radio with push-to-talk (PTT) communications over Wi-Fi and cellular networks—and a PBX handset with a powerful visual interface that simplifies the most complex telephony functions. Give your workers modern communications capabilities with multimedia chat, voice and video calling, and a To-Do list function to track tasks and task status. Zebra Workstation Connect or Wireless Workstation Connect turns the TC201 into a wired or wireless workstation on demand, reducing the need to purchase and manage workstations.
