The TC52-HC Touch Computer builds on the highly successful TC51-HC, adding a new platform and capabilities to deliver the ultimate device for healthcare workers. You get all the features you need to provide every patient with the highest quality of care. You get a durable device built for healthcare, with Android’s unmatched ease of use. Your staff will excel at clinical collaboration thanks to crystal clear VoIP calls, secure text messaging and mobile alarms and alerts. You get the most sanitizable device available today, ready for frequent cleanings and around-the-clock use. The cutting edge platform maximizes the benefits of mobility today, while providing future-proofing for tomorrow. And Mobility DNA™ offers the ultimate collection of value-add apps, with four new complimentary solutions that deliver unparalleled functionality, including the best possible WiFi performance. The TC52-HC touch computer — because when it comes to quality of care, your patients deserve the best.
Android for instant familiarity
Your staff already knows how to use an Android device, virtually eliminating training time and adoption curves. And you can deliver the highly-graphic interactive apps today’s workers expect.
Advanced touchscreen technology
The 5 in. display provides plenty of space to view critical patient data and graphics-intensive apps. The easy, familiar and flexible multitouch operation works when wet, with a gloved finger or a stylus.
Highest quality voice for crystal clear voice calls
In the hospital, there is no room for misunderstandings on a call. That’s why the TC52-HC offers three microphones, high-volume speakers and the latest in noise-cancellation technology. Callers on both ends of the call will hear every word — no matter how hectic your work environment may be.
Active Edge™ Touch Zone for one-touch feature access
Users can easily create dedicated soft keys on either side of the display to access their most frequently used device features and applications with a single touch — from the scanner to specific apps and text messaging.
Full shift power your staff can count on
The PowerPrecision+ high capacity battery delivers up to 14 hours of power1 — plenty for the longest shift. With Warm Swap mode, swapping batteries is fast and easy — there’s no need to turn off the device or close active apps. And with fast charging, batteries are fully charged and ready to go in record time.
Disinfectant-ready to withstand frequent cleanings
The TC52-HC is designed for healthcare from the ground up — screw holes are covered and the number of crevices and seams have been minimized to eliminate places where germs can hide. Advanced medical grade plastics provide superior toughness, able to withstand frequent cleanings from a wide selection of disinfectants.
Rugged and ready for the toughest shifts
While the TC52-HC looks like a smartphone, it’s engineered for 24/7 clinical use. You get reliable operation — even if you drop it on the floor or get it wet. The unibody design provides extra impact protection for the sensitive electronics. And the Corning® Gorilla® Glass touch panel and imager window bring maximum scratch-resistance and shatterproofing to two of the most vulnerable device features.
High-resolution video streaming for better collaboration
The front-facing 5 MP camera enables remote video conferencing with patients and colleagues — improving care quality and caretaker productivity. Built-in support for the latest positioning technology, Visible Light Communication (VLC), provides location-based information for mapping and clinical interactions.
A platform to handle all your apps — today and tomorrow
The ultra-powerful processor provides superior performance on all voice and data apps. You get built-in support for future versions of Android and future apps, such as artificial intelligence.
Improved WiFi range and speed — with less power
With support for 2x2 Multiple-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) technology, you get better WiFi range and speed. And processing is shifted from the TC52-HC to the access point, extending battery cycle time.
The most powerful family of ready-to-use voice solutions
Give your healthcare workers better voice connections for better collaboration. Workforce Connect™ PTT Express is pre-installed and pre-licensed, enabling push-to-talk right out of the box with any other worker carrying any PTT Express-enabled Zebra mobile computer inside the four walls. Want to enable PTT with physicians, paramedics and more outside the four walls? Make it happen with our optional, cloud-based, cost-effective Workforce Connect PTT Pro. And with optional Workforce Connect Voice, your TC52-HC mobile computer doubles as a cordless PBX handset, eliminating the need for workers to carry and manage more than one device.
Secure text messaging
Standard text messaging services lack the security required for healthcare, but voice conversations are often inappropriate in a hospital. With Zebra’s easy-to-deploy Workforce Connect Enterprise Messaging or an approved Partner’s secure texting application, your staff can quickly and discretely communicate via text while meeting requirements for privacy and security.
Fast and flawless scanning
Advanced scanning technology and PRZM Intelligent Imaging deliver lightning fast capture of printed and electronic 1D and 2D barcodes in virtually any condition — even on curved or uneven surfaces like medicine vials and medical bags. The expanded working range and wide field of view allow staff to scan barcodes nearer and farther away, while omnidirectional scanning provides true point and shoot performance
Ultra high-resolution photos and videos
The 13 MP rear color camera captures highly detailed photos and videos to document patient condition, including wound status. The flash is optimized for better brightness and uniformity, making it easier than ever to take quality photos in any lighting condition.
Automatically capture data on labels and forms
Need to capture multiple barcodes on a single label or data on a medical form, such as checkboxes, text fields and signatures? You can do it all with the press of a single button with SimulScan, a no-cost, pre-installed Mobility DNA application.
Maximize productivity with enterprise accessories
The TC52-HC supports a full suite of backward compatible business class accessories, including a 4-slot spare battery charger and unique ShareCradles that charge both devices and batteries. And with the optional Ethernet connection, syncing data with backend apps is fast and accurate.
WorryFree WiFi — dependably superior WiFi
Provide every worker with the best possible WiFi connection, every minute of every shift. This free tool delivers near instant application response times, unmatched roaming performance, plus exceptional voice quality and network diagnostics — everything you need to leverage your WiFi network to increase workforce productivity and better serve patients.
PowerPrecision Console — prevent aging batteries from reducing workforce productivity
This free PC-based solution provides an easy-to-read dashboard that allows you to quickly identify and remove aging batteries from your battery fleet — before they impact workforce productivity and mobile device uptime.
End-to-end revolutionary control of the update process with LifeGuard
Updating your enterprise-class Android mobile devices is often timeconsuming, costly, complex and difficult to track. Now you can easily manage updates across your entire fleet with LifeGuard Analytics — free with your Zebra OneCare® Support contract. See available updates, a list of eligible devices and the update priority, all at a glance. Automatically update devices over the air with the press of a button. And easily monitor and manage the status of updates in real time.
Easily manage access to Google Mobile Services (GMS) with Restricted Mode
StageNow’s new Restricted Mode delivers an industry first — an easy way to simply click to deactivate Google Mobile Services (GMS) — and reactivate should you need them down the road. StageNow is free and pre-loaded on every TC52-HC.
Improve device value with Zebra’s optional Visibility Services
