Key Benefits of the Zebra ET45 Rugged Enterprise Tablet

Rugged Reliability in the Field

The Zebra ET45 is designed to handle tough conditions, with drop resistance and IP65 sealing that protect it against dust and water. Whether in a warehouse, on the road, or outdoors, it ensures reliable performance where consumer tablets would quickly fail.

Clear Visibility Anywhere

Equipped with a 10.1″ FHD display, the ET45 provides excellent readability indoors and outdoors. Glove and wet touch support enable workers to use the device in all weather conditions, making it ideal for field deployments.

Optimized for Mobile Workforces

Unlike the ET40, the ET45 is equipped with optional 5G or 4G LTE connectivity. This ensures teams can stay connected in real time even when Wi-Fi is unavailable, making it a superior choice for transportation, logistics, and field service applications.

Efficient Data Capture

The integrated 2D barcode scanner and high-resolution camera streamline workflows such as inventory management, proof-of-delivery, and asset tracking. Zebra’s scanning technology performs reliably even with damaged or poorly printed barcodes, reducing errors and improving efficiency.

Long-Lasting Power

Hot-swappable standard and extended battery options ensure uninterrupted shifts. Workers can replace batteries on the go without shutting down the device, enabling continuous operation throughout long days in the field.

Enterprise-Ready Software Ecosystem

With Zebra Mobility DNA, the ET45 provides more than hardware. Businesses gain access to tools that improve connectivity (WorryFree WiFi), streamline device setup (StageNow), and enhance security and user control (Enterprise Home Screen). This ecosystem maximizes the return on investment.

Comfortable, Lightweight Design

Despite its rugged certifications, the ET45 maintains a slim and ergonomic design, reducing fatigue during extended use. It can be comfortably carried or mounted, supporting a wide range of operational scenarios.

Reliable Support and Warranty

Backed by a three-year limited warranty, the ET45 is built for long-term dependability. Zebra also provides optional support services to further extend lifecycle management, reducing total cost of ownership.

Ideal Use Cases for the Zebra ET45 Rugged Tablet

• Retail & hospitality – Mobile POS, real-time inventory checks, and customer engagement.

• Transportation & logistics – Fleet management, proof-of-delivery, and GPS-enabled route optimization.

• Field service & utilities – Reliable connectivity and rugged performance for inspections and maintenance.

• Warehousing & distribution – Barcode scanning, order picking, and efficient stock management.
