Zebra Technologies Introduces New Customizable, Enterprise-Class Tablets for Enterprise Asset Intelligence
New ET50 and ET55 tablets cater to diverse mobile strategies with choice of operating system and display size
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., Sept. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a global leader in solutions and services that provide real-time visibility into organizations' assets, people and transactions introduced the next-generation ET50 and ET55 tablet computers, which combine the best of consumer-styling with the enterprise-class features necessary to increase workforce productivity. With a choice of the Microsoft Windows 8.1 or Android(TM) 5.1 (Lollipop) operating system (OS) and two different display sizes, businesses can choose the modern enterprise-grade tablet that best meets their application needs and technology strategy.
-- Operating Flexibility to Empower the Right Business Applications: The
ET50/55 is the first Zebra tablet computer available with the Windows
8.1 OS and is Windows 10-ready. Windows gives access to legacy ERP
systems and commonality to desktop solutions. The Android version of the
ET50/55 tablet computer comes standard with Zebra's Mobility Extensions
(Mx), providing enterprise-class security; device management and data
capture capabilities. The Android tablets are also equipped with Zebra's
AppGallery - an Android enterprise app store providing ready-to-use
apps.
-- A Business Tool with an Enterprise-Class Accessory Ecosystem: Tablets
need the right accessories to make them enterprise-grade productivity
tools. New vehicle mount cradles are ideal for service technicians,
delivery drivers and salespeople on the road while a forklift mount can
handle most warehouse environments. Advanced scanning capabilities are
available that can accurately and rapidly capture photos, NFC tags, and
bar codes in virtually any condition and on practically any surface.
Hot-swappable batteries augment the built-in battery and deliver 24 x 7
power to field service, transportation and logistics, retail, warehouse,
manufacturing and government employees.
-- Features Designed for Enterprise Mobile Workforces: The ET50 features
Wi-Fi connectivity while the ET55 adds 4G LTE cellular connectivity, and
both models offer an advanced capacitive touch display that enables
gloved or ungloved usage and the ability to use a stylus or a finger for
annotating and capturing signatures. All configurations are designed to
MIL-STD specification for drops to concrete and have IP65 sealing.
-- Enterprise-Class Services: Zebra OneCare Essential Services provide
device diagnostics and coverage for normal wear and tear as well as
accidental damage to internal and external components, significantly
reducing unforeseen repair expenses.
