Zebra – TC701 Mobile Computer | Ultra-Rugged Mobile Computing Reimagined for the AI-Powered Frontline

The Zebra TC701 is Zebra’s most rugged handheld mobile computer, engineered for frontline workers who demand maximum durability alongside the processing power to run advanced AI applications. Powered by Qualcomm’s Dragonwing Q-6690 processor with a dedicated AI engine, the TC701 delivers up to 300% more performance than legacy TC7 devices — paired with up to 12 GB RAM and 256 GB Flash to handle the most data-intensive on-device workloads.

Built for T&L, field service, retail, and warehouse environments, the TC701 brings together barcode scanning, integrated UHF RFID, 50 MP imaging, NFC, Wi-Fi 7, and 5G cellular into one ultra-rugged device. Its 6-inch AMOLED display with 1500 nits of brightness ensures readability in any condition, while a 12 ft. drop rating and 3,500 tumble cycles set a new benchmark for TC7 Series durability. Develop and deploy AI applications in days — not months — using Zebra’s Frontline AI Suite.
