Designed for workers who spend their days inside your facility, the TC73 offers everything you need to support the new generation of mobile solutions—Wi-Fi 6E for fast and dependable wireless connections; a bright, easy-to-see 6-inch Full HD display; more power, memory and storage to support demanding apps; and an extended range scanner that can capture barcodes in hand and as far away as 40 ft./12.2 m away. And while it’s more rugged, it’s nearly 20% thinner, lighter and more ergonomic.
