Android mobile computers

Zebra TC22 / TC27 family

The mobile computer runs Ledger. A paired RFID reader captures the tags. Choose a TC22 for Wi-Fi work or assess the TC27 for cellular field connectivity.

How it connects to Ledger

The TC22 runs the Ledger Mobile App and pairs with an RFD40 in the defined Ledger setup. The TC27 is a related family option, not a separately validated Ledger configuration. We assess its Android version, reader connection, adaptor and network requirements before recommending it.

Models & configuration options

Choose the complete setup, not just the product name.

TC22

Wi-Fi mobile computer for sites with suitable wireless coverage. The existing Ledger validation applies to a defined TC22 and reader setup.

TC27

Adds cellular connectivity for work away from site Wi-Fi. Confirm the exact device and Ledger reader setup before ordering.

Reader and accessory options

RFD40 model, eConnex adaptor, protective boot and charging cradle must be chosen as a compatible combination. This page does not cover TC22R integrated-RFID models.

Where it fits

Use these examples to assess the device against your assets and process.

Mobile issue and return

Carry the Ledger interface to the equipment and use a paired reader to capture tagged assets.

Asset registration and deployment

Review an asset record at the point where it is registered or deployed, rather than going back to a desk.

Field operations

Assess cellular connectivity when the process takes operators away from a managed Wi-Fi network.

Before you choose

  • The standard TC22 and TC27 are not standalone UHF RFID readers. The barcode scanner and NFC radio do not replace an RFD40.
  • Manufacturer accessory compatibility is not the same as Ledger validation. Check the complete device, adaptor, firmware and application combination.
  • Confirm network coverage and the workflow's connectivity requirements. Cellular availability does not imply every Ledger action works offline.

Supply & implementation

Hardware supply & support

Ask for a configured device and reader bundle. We confirm the SKU, accessories, software requirements, supply lead time and project pricing together.

Hardware supply, warranty and support responsibilities are agreed as part of your project. Standard hardware and implementation services are in New Zealand; international software enquiries are welcome.
