Help your workers access the data they need to act more efficiently. With multiple configurations at different price points, you pay only for the features your workers need. With cellular, CBRS and WiFi, your workers get the comprehensive connectivity options they need to stay connected out in the field and in the office.

A New Level of Features for a Value-Priced Device
Lightweight, easy to carry and easy to operate with one hand.
Right out of the box, your workers will know how to use the TC26 CBRS, virtually eliminating training. And built-in support for the next Android release provides superior future-proofing.
Waterproof, dustproof, drops to concrete, snow, rain, heat, freezing cold — the TC26 can handle it all.
Plus, the display and scanner exit window are fortified with Gorilla Glass.
Get plenty of space to interact with your applications. And the touchscreen is easy to view indoors and outside in bright sunlight.
When it comes to wireless, the class-leading TC26 offers it all — WiFi, cellular, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC and CBRS, the newest wireless networking option that enables the creation of private LTE wireless networks to meet specific business needs.
Simultaneously run the most demanding applications of today and tomorrow. And the TC26 CBRS is a natural fit for businesses that utilize Zebra’s other mobile devices.
From proof of delivery to a damaged package, completed repair, occasional barcode capture and more, do it all with the integrated autofocus color camera.
VoLTE delivers superior voice quality over cellular networks, while Zebra’s advanced VoWiFi technology, included with the Mobility DNA Enterprise License, delivers superior voice quality over all of your WiFi voice applications — for example, Push-to-Talk Express¹ for basic walkie-talkie style communications, the Workforce Connect PTT Pro² subscription service for walkie talkie-style communications over cellular, CBRS and WiFi networks, and Workforce Connect Voice³ to turn TC26 devices into fully-featured PBX handsets.
Right sized. Right featured. Right price.

Easily stage a handful or thousands of Android devices with a quick scan of a barcode or tap on an NFC tag.
Easily control the applications and device features your workers can access. And you can create different configurations for different teams, such as sales and marketing — no developer required.
