Overview

The TC27 is the cellular model of Zebra's TC22/TC27 all-touch Android mobile computer; the TC22 is Wi-Fi only.[1] Zebra says it supports private 5G and CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) private LTE networks, with CBRS available in the US only.[1] Zebra positions it for couriers and delivery, field repair, staff communications, ticketing and access control.[2] Zebra now lists the newer TC201 as a replacement for the TC27, so buyers planning multi-year rollouts should compare the two.[3]
