Zebra TC52 Android-based enterprise PDA

With the Zebra TC52 and the mobile broadband-equipped but otherwise largely identical TC57, Zebra has launched an intelligent upgrade to its well-received TC5X Series of rugged enterprise handhelds. It's an upgrade that not only enhances hardware performance, communication and performance, but also addresses OS software with the latest version of Android, and an expanded array of workforce productivity, security, management and connectivity enhancements. While the enterprise deployments Zebra has in mind with the TC52/TC57 aren't generally environmentally harsh working environments, the company made sure the devices are easily capable of handling most adverse situations they may encounter. TC52/TC57 handhelds can survive four-foot drops to concrete (6-foot with optional rugged boot) and they were subjected to 500 half-meter tumbles in tests. The -10 to 122 degree Fahrenheit operating temperature range is now wide enough for all intended applications, now including commercial freezers. There is also vibration resistance testing data. Sealing has improved from IP65 in the predecessor models to IP67, which means the devices can survive full immersion.
