FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About the Zebra MC9400/MC9450 Ultra-Rugged Mobile Computer
Q: What are the main benefits of the MC9400/MC9450 for my operation?
A. The MC9400/MC9450 is the next generation of Zebra’s MC9000 Series, offering more power and faster performance than its predecessors. It combines extended-range scanning, Wi-Fi 6E and 5G wireless options, and Zebra’s software toolset in one ultra-rugged device.
Q: How far away can the MC9400/MC9450 scan barcodes?
A. With the SE58 Extended Range Scan Engine with IntelliFocus™ technology, workers can capture barcodes in hand or more than 100 ft./30.5 m away. The same device can scan an item being picked and a rack label on the top shelf, with no need to leave the forklift.
Q: What makes the scanner easier for my workers to use?
A. The SE58 uses a green laser aimer that is up to seven times more visible than the typical red aimer dot. This makes it easier for workers to see what they are targeting at long distances.
Q: What wireless connectivity options does the device offer?
A. The device supports Wi-Fi 6E, which provides triple the available spectrum, quadruple the bandwidth and capacity, and triple the speed. It also supports private and public 5G (data only). With both a Nano SIM and an eSIM, it can hold private and public 5G connections at the same time, which suits large facilities and yards.
Q: We already use MC9300 devices. Will we have to replace our accessories and how hard is deployment?
A. No, the MC9400/MC9450 is fully backward compatible with MC9300 accessories, so you can keep your existing ones. Zebra DNA for Mobile Computers, a software suite, helps your IT team set up, secure, manage, and optimize the devices throughout their lifecycle.
