Zebra TC22R Integrated Handheld RFID Reader (NEW)
The Zebra TC22R Integrated Handheld RFID Reader is a lightweight, all-touch Android device that combines UHF RFID, 1D/2D barcode scanning, and NFC in a single unit. It is built for teams that need fast, accurate asset and inventory tracking across retail, warehousing, manufacturing, and field operations.
Supplied as a NEW device with a 2-year manufacturer warranty, the Zebra TC22R reads up to 1,300 RFID tags per second with an integrated-antenna range of up to around 24 metres, helping associates complete cycle counts quickly and with less fatigue than heavier readers. Its 6-inch Full HD+ touchscreen, Wi-Fi 6E, and Android Enterprise platform make it straightforward to deploy and manage at scale.
With an ergonomic all-in-one design, a user-removable 7,000 mAh battery, IP65 sealing, and 1.5 m drop resistance, the Zebra TC22R suits long shifts and demanding everyday environments where reliable data capture matters.
Key Features Of The Zebra TC22R
- Integrated UHF RFID reader – The Zebra TC22R reads up to 1,300 tags per second with an integrated-antenna range of up to around 24 metres, supporting EPC Class 1 Gen 2, Gen 2 V2, and Gen2X. This delivers fast, real-time visibility into asset and inventory movement.
- All-in-one, all-touch design – A lightweight, ergonomic body lets workers run extended cycle counts with less fatigue than heavier handheld readers. Everything is built into one device, with no separate sled to manage.
- 1D/2D barcode scanning – An SE4710 scan engine captures 1D and 2D barcodes quickly and accurately alongside RFID, so a single device covers multiple data-capture tasks.
- Built-in NFC and cameras – An integrated NFC reader supports mobile POS and contactless workflows, while a 16 MP rear and 5 MP front camera enable photo documentation and proof of condition.
- 6-inch Full HD+ display – The 450-nit Full HD+ touchscreen supports multi-mode capacitive touch with bare or light-gloved fingertips, keeping it usable across retail floors and warehouse environments.
- Modern connectivity – Wi-Fi 6E with 2×2 MU-MIMO, Bluetooth 5.2, and USB-C provide fast, reliable connections and simple integration across the network.
- Android Enterprise platform – As an Android Enterprise Recommended device with support for mainstream MDMs and WPA3 security, the Zebra TC22R reduces deployment and management overhead.
- Swappable, long-lasting power – A user-removable, quick-release 7,000 mAh PowerPrecision+ battery provides real-time battery metrics and supports full shifts of continuous use.
- Built for daily use – IP65 sealing, 1.5 m drops to concrete, a 500-cycle tumble rating, and a -10°C to +50°C operating range keep it working in demanding conditions.
- Responsive performance – A Qualcomm 5430 hexa-core processor with 6 GB RAM and 64 GB storage keeps scanning and inventory applications fast and responsive.
Key Benefits Of The Zebra TC22R
Faster, more accurate inventory and asset tracking
With read rates up to 1,300 tags per second and a long integrated-antenna range, the Zebra TC22R captures more data in less time. That helps teams keep stock and asset records accurate and up to date with fewer manual checks.
Comfortable for all-day cycle counting
The lightweight, all-touch design reduces strain during repetitive counts compared with heavier readers. For associates who scan for hours at a time, that supports both productivity and comfort.
One device for RFID, barcode, NFC and imaging
Because UHF RFID, 1D/2D scanning, NFC, and cameras are integrated into a single unit, teams can standardize on one device across multiple workflows. This simplifies procurement, training, and support.
Simple to deploy and manage at scale
As an Android Enterprise Recommended device with mainstream MDM support and Wi-Fi 6E, the Zebra TC22R fits cleanly into existing IT environments. That reduces rollout time and ongoing management overhead across larger fleets.
Dependable in everyday work environments
IP65 sealing, drop and tumble resistance, and a swappable high-capacity battery keep the device available throughout the working day. For operations that depend on continuous data capture, that means less downtime.
Ideal Use Cases
- Retail & Hospitality – Inventory cycle counting, mobile POS and line-busting, and item finding on the sales floor and in the stockroom.
- Warehouse & Logistics – Inbound and outbound verification, loading checks, and real-time inventory cycle counts.
- Light Manufacturing – Product and component tracking and work-in-progress visibility across the production floor.
