Here’s why teams choose Zebra ET401

A display workers actually want to use, and can, whatever the conditions.

The display is one of the most crucial and vulnerable features. Gorilla Glass 5 offers advanced scratch-and-shatter protection. And water droplet rejection and a fingerprint-resistant coating keep the display clear and easy to read, without constant cleaning.

Twice the wireless speed. Sharper positioning. Ready for whatever network comes next.

Wi-Fi 7 delivers twice the speed of Wi-Fi 6, keeping scan-intensive workflows, live inventory updates, and real-time transport orders running without lag. Bluetooth 6.0 adds high-accuracy device positioning, so teams can locate peripherals and assets precisely across the floor. Add optional 5G Release 17 for cellular connectivity that keeps field workers connected wherever Wi-Fi can't reach.

Reads 90 RFID tags per second — without a separate reader.

The Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ Q-6690 processor enables embedded AI-enhanced features and supports modern, cloud-based AI applications, the fastest wireless connections, on chip RFID1 and more. Three generations newer than the SM6375 in the ET40/ET45, this processor offers a 42%+ performance boost2, with support through 2034.

Easily find missing devices—even if they are powered off

Do you know where your devices are? With Device Guardian5, you will be making it easy to find and recover lost or misplaced devices.

Unsurpassed eight-year life expectancy

The ET401 tablets are built from the ground up to last for years. Unlike many devices, they’re available for sale for four years, eliminating the cost and complexity of mixed model deployments. And with service extended for an additional four years, you get up to eight total years of service and support.

Give your workers easy and secure device access

With Identity Guardian5, workers can simply position their face in front of the screen to log on—and with Single Sign On (SSO) compatibility, there’s no more entering credentials to log in and out of applications throughout the day.

Managed better with Scalefusion

Scalefusion enhances how the Zebra ET401 is deployed, secured, and managed — whether across a single store, a warehouse floor, or a distributed multi-site fleet.

Looking to manage Zebra devices

StageNow

Enroll your entire ET401 fleet in one go with StageNow. Push configurations, security policies, and app deployments using StageNow MX configs — ensuring standardised, consistent setups across every device from day one, regardless of model size or SKU variant.

DataWedge

Leverage DataWedge to route scan data from the SE4100 or SR500 imager, optional RFID reader, or rear camera directly into your line-of-business applications — WMS, ERP, POS, or custom tools — without writing custom integration code.

Zebra OEMConfig

Leverage Scalefusion's integrated Zebra OEMConfig to give IT admins granular control over ET401-specific settings — touch sensitivity profiles, camera behaviour, RFID activation, security policies, and power management — all from a single management console.

LifeGuard OTA

Ensure security stays current across an eight-year lifecycle with LifeGuard OTA updates, powered by Scalefusion. Remotely deploy OS patches and firmware updates across every ET401 in your fleet — you choose when, how, and over which network, so updates never interrupt operations.
