Wireless Functionality
Integrated Wi-Fi 6 capability in the RFD40 Premium and Premium Plus Sleds allows for easy over-the-air (OTA) device management, while Bluetooth 5.3 and NFC tap-to-pair make it easier than ever to connect to current and future Zebra mobile computers and third-party smartphones.
Integrated Barcode Scanner
Available only in the RFD40 Premium Plus Sled, an integrated SE4100 imager provides 1D and 2D scanning functionality for the most challenging barcodes—including poorly printed, damaged, dirty, crinkled, low-contrast, glossy and electronic barcodes on dimly lit mobile phone displays.
Unparalleled Efficiency
The RFD40 UHF RFID Premium and Premium Plus Sleds outperform the competition with 1,300+ tag reads per second (up to 30% faster than the next leading competitor), a 20+ foot read range, and ultra-accurate item-finder mode. With a 7,000 mAh battery and a quick-release function that’s accessible without removing the mobile computer, it keeps going hour after hour. The tri-function trigger lets associates quickly access RFID reading, barcode scanning and a programmable third function of your choice, such as the enter key or push-to-talk.
Remarkable Versatility
An adaptor compatible with the OtterBox uniVERSE ecosystem allows customers to easily slide on and slide off a wide variety of smartphones running Android™ and iOS operating systems.
Next Generation Connectivity
With the new eConnex™ technology that allows for snap-and-go pairing, you can future-proof your workplace with a sled that supports the latest Zebra mobile computers including WWAN-enabled variants. What’s more, the sleds can connect instantly to supported Zebra eConnex™-enabled devices including the TC21/26, EC50/55 and future models.
