ET401 Enterprise Tablets

Zebra ET401 Enterprise Tablets: Sleek, Rugged, and AI-Empowered

The ET401 represents the next generation of Zebra’s best-selling rugged tablets, combining a consumer-style thin and light design with high-performance enterprise-grade mobile computing. Available in 8-inch and 10-inch models, the ET401 is powered by the Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-6690 processor, delivering a major performance uplift and enabling advanced, AI-supported applications for modern frontline workflows.

Built for the Toughest Environments

Designed to withstand extreme conditions, the ET401 features an IP68 sealing rating for complete protection against dust and water submersion. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, offering superior scratch and shatter resistance.

With thermal shock testing and a wide operating temperature range, these tablets transition reliably from subzero cold to sweltering heat, supporting consistent operation across warehouses, stores, loading bays, and outdoor service scenarios.

RFID and NFC Ready for Contactless Workflows

A standout capability of the ET401 is the optional integrated short-range UHF RFID, which enables fast tag reading directly from the tablet without requiring a separate handheld RFID reader. This supports quick item verification and cycle counts at shelves, packing benches, and staging areas. The integrated UHF RFID can read more than 90 tags per second at up to 4 ft. (1.2 m), making it well-suited for controlled, close-range inventory and item-finding use cases.

In addition, ET401 includes enterprise-grade NFC support for common card and tag standards, enabling secure authentication and tap-based workflows. NFC features such as Host Card Emulation (HCE) and support for contactless payment and value-added services (VAS) help retailers and service organizations enable modern tap interactions, from staff login and access control to customer-facing experiences at the point of service.

Advanced Data Capture and Connectivity

Stay connected with the latest wireless technologies, including Wi-Fi 7, optional 5G, and Bluetooth 6.0. Data capture is streamlined with options for integrated short-range UHF RFID, professional-grade 1D/2D barcode scanning (SE4100 or SR500), and a high-resolution 16 MP rear camera with an optional ultra-wide lens, supporting everything from item identification to visual documentation and shelf capture.

Enterprise-Class Longevity and Security

The ET401 is designed for long-term standardization, offering an eight-year lifecycle model (sales availability plus extended service and support). Security is strengthened with Secure Element and Android Strongbox, while Zebra DNA software provides tools to deploy, manage, secure, and optimize devices across their lifecycle, helping teams scale RFID/NFC-enabled workflows with confidence.
