Professional PDA terminals and mobile computers

This is the general mobility collection. It includes handheld terminals, tablets, mobile accessories and add-ons such as kits and bases. Among the references listed are the Zebra MC9400 and MC94 mobile computers, with a 4.3-inch screen, gun-style versions with Wi-Fi 6E, 5G variants and an option for cold storage.

A PDA terminal combines a computer, a barcode scanner and wireless connectivity in a single device, with a casing designed to withstand shocks, dust and continuous use, unlike a consumer phone.

How to choose a PDA terminal

  • Form factor: gun-style for intensive scanning, smartphone format for lookups and mobility, or a tablet for larger screens.
  • Scan engine: it determines whether you need 1D, 2D and what range, close up or from several meters away.
  • Connectivity: Wi-Fi (including Wi-Fi 6E), Bluetooth, 4G or 5G and NFC, depending on the coverage of your site.
  • Ruggedness: IP protection rating, drop resistance and temperature range, especially if you work in the cold or outdoors.
  • Battery and accessories: replaceable batteries, charging cradles, holsters, straps and mounts.
  • System and management: compatibility with your software and with a mobile device management (MDM) platform.

Business uses of mobile computers

PDA terminals are used in logistics and warehouses for receiving, picking and shipping; in retail for inventory counts and item lookups; in delivery and transport for proof of delivery; in maintenance and industry for inspections; and in healthcare to identify patients, samples or medication.
