What are the main security features of the Zebra TC58e mobile computer?
The TC58e is the most secure TC5 Series device, featuring a dedicated Secure Element chip that provides hardware-based protection against physical attacks and unauthorized access to sensitive data. The Secure Element includes a self-destruct feature that erases sensitive data if the device is physically tampered with, and it supports Android Strongbox capability for additional security. We also offer Identity Guardian functionality, which allows workers to unlock and provision shared devices by scanning a barcode on their badge and using facial recognition, eliminating the need for shared PINs or compromised credentials.
Does the TC58e have integrated RFID capability, and what is its read range?
Yes, the TC58e features integrated short-range UHF RFID functionality (available on specific WLAN SKUs) that enables new RFID use cases. The device has an omnidirectional antenna with a read range of 1.2 meters and can read up to 20 tags per second, making it ideal for inventory management and asset tracking applications. This makes the TC58e the first mid-tier Zebra mobile computer with built-in RFID capability.
What wireless connectivity options does the TC58e support?
The TC58e supports the latest wireless technologies including second-generation 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3, providing the fastest and most reliable wireless communications available. These advanced connectivity options improve connection reliability and application performance for demanding warehouse, retail, and field service operations.

How durable is the TC58e for warehouse and field environments?
The TC58e is engineered for extreme durability with dustproof, waterproof, drop-proof, and tumble-proof construction that meets IP65 and IP68 sealing standards. The device features a 6-inch Full HD+ bright edge-to-edge display that works indoors and outdoors in bright sunlight, and the touchscreen functions with wet fingers and gloves. These rugged specifications ensure maximum workforce productivity and return on investment in demanding logistics and warehouse environments.
What is the processor and how long will it be supported?
The TC58e features a new Qualcomm octa-core chipset that delivers nearly twice the processing power of the prior generation while consuming less power, with up to 8 GB RAM and 128 GB Flash storage. The device ships with Android 13 and is upgradeable to Android 17, with production support until 2028 and extended support until 2032 (4+4 lifecycle), ensuring your investment remains current and supported well into the future. This extended support window provides peace of mind for long-term deployments.
Is the TC58e environmentally sustainable, and what makes it different from previous TC5 models?
The TC58e is the most sustainable TC5 Series device Zebra offers, constructed with 25 percent post-consumer recycled plastics and free from major environmental toxins like mercury and PFO/PFOAs. The device features removable and recyclable PowerPrecision+ batteries with intelligent health metrics, 98 percent biodegradable packaging made from recycled materials, and reduced power consumption compared to previous generations. By consolidating multiple device functions—workstation, PBX handset, and two-way radio—the TC58e reduces the total number of devices needed, further minimizing your organization's plastic and electronics consumption.
