Overview

The Zebra TC501G-341B2B1A01-NA is a North America-only configuration of the TC501 rugged mobile computer. It pairs a 5G WWAN radio and Wi-Fi 7 with a 2.9 GHz Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-6690 processor, 12 GB RAM and 256 GB flash. This SKU adds the SR560 1D/2D imager, a 50 MP rear camera and a 13 MP ultra-wide rear camera. It runs on a hot-swappable standard 5,000 mAh battery and includes a Secure Element for hardware-level protection, making it suited to retail, field service and delivery teams.

  • 5G Release 17 WWAN (Sub-6 NSA/SA) with one physical SIM plus dual eSIM, CBRS (US only) and private cellular support
  • Wi-Fi 7 tri-band 2x2 MU-MIMO with MLO, plus Bluetooth 6.0 and NFC
  • Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-6690 at 2.9 GHz with 12 GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GB UFS 3.1 flash, microSD up to 2 TB
  • SR560 1D/2D imager, 50 MP autofocus rear camera, 13 MP ultra-wide rear camera and 8 MP front camera
  • Integrated short-range UHF RFID reading more than 200 tags per second at up to 6.5 ft (2 m)
  • 6.0-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, 1,500 nits peak, Gorilla Glass Victus
  • IP68/IP65 sealing, 8 ft (2.44 m) drops to concrete, and a hot-swappable standard 5,000 mAh battery
  • Stay connected across sites with 5G, dual eSIM and a physical SIM, and fall back to Wi-Fi 7 indoors

The Zebra TC501 is a 6-inch rugged Android mobile computer for frontline workers in retail, field service and parcel delivery, and it replaces the TC52x, TC57x and TC52ax. This configuration, TC501G-341B2B1A01-NA, is built for North America. It combines a 5G Release 17 modem (Sub-6 NSA and SA, one physical SIM plus dual eSIM, CBRS in the US) with tri-band Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0. The Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-6690 runs at up to 2.9 GHz and includes a dedicated AI engine. Zebra rates it at up to 300% more performance than legacy TC5 devices, and this SKU carries the top memory tier of 12 GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GB UFS 3.1 flash, with a microSD slot for cards up to 2 TB.

Data capture is the reason to choose this SKU. The SR560 imager uses a red laser cross-hair aimer and white illumination for moderate to intense 1D/2D scanning, including in bright sunlight. The 50 MP autofocus rear camera is joined by a 13 MP autofocus ultra-wide camera for vision applications that need a wider field of view. The 8 MP front camera, integrated short-range UHF RFID that reads more than 200 tags per second at up to 6.5 ft, and NFC with wallet and EMVCo contactless payment support round out the data capture options.

The device is sealed to IP68 and IP65. It survives 8 ft drops to concrete at room temperature, or 9 ft with the rugged boot, and 2,000 tumbles of 1.6 ft. The 6-inch AMOLED display reaches 1,500 nits peak behind Gorilla Glass Victus. The standard 5,000 mAh battery is hot-swappable, so shifts are not interrupted for charging. Security comes from the Secure Element with Android Strongbox, FIPS 140-3 validation, Common Criteria certification and Secure Boot. A Quick Start Guide and Regulatory Guide ship in the box.

Ideal for

  • Retail inventory counts, price checks and item location with built-in RFID and barcode scanning
  • Buy online, pick up in store order fulfillment and line busting with contactless payments
  • Planogram, merchandising and promotion compliance photos using the ultra-wide camera
  • Field service asset management, parts inventory and mobile invoicing over 5G
  • Courier proof of delivery and condition capture with timestamped images and GNSS location

Questions buyers ask

Is this TC501 SKU intended for the US market?

Yes. TC501G-341B2B1A01-NA is a North America-only configuration. It supports 5G bands including n41, n71 and n77, LTE bands such as B2, B4, B12, B13, B66 and B71, and CBRS, which is available in the US only.

What makes this configuration different from other TC501 models?

It combines the 12 GB RAM / 256 GB flash tier, the SR560 imager and a second 13 MP ultra-wide autofocus rear camera next to the 50 MP main camera. The ultra-wide camera suits vision-based applications that need a wider view.

Can the battery be changed without shutting the device down?

Yes. The standard 5,000 mAh (19.45 Wh) Li-Ion battery is hot-swappable. The TC501 platform also offers a 7,240 mAh extended battery and fast charging from 0 to 70% in 45 minutes with Zebra's fast charging options.

Does it need an external RFID sled?

No. Every TC501 includes short-range UHF RFID that reads more than 200 tags per second at up to 6.5 ft (2 m), covering both the US 902-928 MHz and EU 865-868 MHz bands.

How rugged is the TC501?

It is sealed to IP68 and IP65. It survives 8 ft (2.44 m) drops to concrete at room temperature, or 9 ft (2.74 m) with the rugged boot, and 2,000 tumbles of 1.6 ft (0.5 m). It operates from -4°F to +122°F.
