BARTEC UltraRugged ConnectPro Handheld Computers, Wi-Fi 6E, 5G, IP68

The BARTEC ToughLink 78 (BARTEC TC78 EX Terminal) is an ultra-rugged handheld touch computer engineered for mobile workers operating in hazardous and industrial environments. Built on a Qualcomm 6490 octa‑core platform with Android 13 and certified explosion‑protection ratings, it combines enterprise-grade 5G and Wi‑Fi 6E connectivity, advanced long‑range barcode scanning, and a bonded 6.0‑inch Full HD+ display with Corning Gorilla Glass. The device supports multi‑mode touch input, robust battery features including fast charge and warm swap, dual SIM options and a compact, dust- and water‑resistant IP68 design—delivering reliable data capture, voice and multimedia capability for field service, utilities, logistics and manufacturing workflows.

Key Features

• Hazardous‑area certification: Comprehensive explosion‑protection approvals (ATEX, IECEx, UKEX and NEC classifications) enable safe deployment in Zone 2/22 and Div.2 locations.
• Advanced connectivity: Integrated 5G, Wi‑Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 and dual SIM (1 Nano SIM + 1 eSIM) provide resilient, high‑speed communications for field and industrial applications.
• Long‑range scanning: Zebra SE55 Advanced Range 1D/2D engine with IntelliFocus supports rapid barcode capture at extended distances to improve throughput.
• Rugged, usable display: Bonded 6.0" Full HD+ touchscreen with Corning Gorilla Glass and multi‑mode capacitive input (stylus, bare or gloved) for reliable operation in demanding conditions.
• Durable power and battery management: 4680 mAh lithium‑polymer battery with fast charging and warm‑swap capability for extended field uptime.
• Enterprise sensors and audio: Comprehensive GNSS, sensor suite and professional audio (noise‑cancelling microphones, dual speakers, HD Voice) to support navigation, situational awareness and clear communications.
