What are the key performance improvements of the Zebra TC78 compared to previous generations?
The TC78 features the next-generation Qualcomm 6490 octa-core processor delivering 90% more processing power, a 400% faster graphics processor, and locationing that is six times more accurate than previous models. It also includes up to 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB Flash storage, plus a 2 TB MicroSD card slot, enabling simultaneous demanding applications with virtually instant response times. The 6-inch advanced edge-to-edge display is 28% larger than predecessors, reducing scrolling and improving visibility indoors and outdoors.
Is the Zebra TC78 suitable for harsh warehouse and outdoor environments?
Yes, the TC78 is engineered for the harshest environments with IP65 and IP68 sealing, making it dustproof and waterproof—capable of being submerged in water and sprayed with a hose. It's built to withstand 10 ft./3.05 m drops to concrete and 2,000 consecutive tumbles, with Corning Gorilla Glass protecting the display and imager window for maximum scratch-resistance and shatter-proofing. We offer this device for warehouse, distribution, field service, and transportation logistics applications where durability is critical.
What wireless connectivity options does the TC78 provide?
The TC78 supports all the latest wireless connections including Wi-Fi 6E (three times faster than standard Wi-Fi), 5G for wired-speed wireless networks, and CBRS private LTE networks for cost-effective connectivity in large facilities. It also features Bluetooth 5.2 for superior accessory performance with improved audio quality, lower power requirements, and the ability to connect multiple devices simultaneously. These comprehensive wireless options ensure unmatched performance and reliability for mobile workforce applications.
What scanning capabilities does the TC78 offer?
The TC78 offers two scan engine options: the SE4770 with a standard 24 in./60 cm scanning range and wide field of view, or the SE55 1D/2D Advanced Range scan engine with IntelliFocus technology that captures barcodes from as far as 40 ft./12.2 m away without bending or climbing. Both scanners capture barcodes in virtually any condition and lighting, with scan buttons rated for one million actuations. With Mobility DNA's Simulscan NG, you can capture all barcodes on an item with one button press and process information on documents including signatures.
Can the TC78 be used for parcel dimensioning and shipping calculations?
Yes, the TC78 includes Zebra Dimensioning Certified Mobile Parcel—an industry-first handheld 'legal for trade' solution that utilizes the integrated Time of Flight sensor to calculate accurate parcel dimensions and shipping charges in seconds. This integrated functionality eliminates the need for separate dimensioning equipment, making it ideal for parcel delivery and logistics operations. Contact us today to learn how this feature can streamline your shipping and fulfillment processes.
What additional functionality can be added to the TC78?
The TC78 can be transformed into multiple devices through optional accessories and software: turn it into a workstation with Workstation Connect software and cradle, add a lightning-fast RFID sled capable of reading 1,300 tags per second, or convert it into a two-way radio or fully-featured PBX handset. The device also supports a 16 MP integrated camera with optional Optical Image Stabilization for high-resolution photo and video documentation. We offer comprehensive integration options to extend the TC78's functionality for your specific warehouse, field service, or logistics needs.
