What the TC53e / TC58e is for
The TC53e/TC58e is the refreshed mid-tier rugged touch mobile computer: the same proven TC5 platform for daily data capture, brought up to date with stronger security, greener construction and the newest wireless. The TC53e-RFID adds integrated short-range UHF RFID for inventory and asset tasks without a separate reader. It is the device to choose where you want a future-proof, secure, sustainable mainstream mobile computer, and it anchors the warehouse automation and labelling and barcoding workflows Sirap builds.
Who it is for
Maltese retail, logistics and manufacturing operations that want the current TC5 generation, especially where data security, ESG and long support life matter, or where light RFID would otherwise need a separate device (TC53e-RFID). For the value tier, see the TC22/TC27; for ultra-rugged, the TC73/TC78.
Built to perform
More power, less energy. The new Qualcomm processor delivers nearly twice the power of the prior generation while consuming less, with up to 8 GB RAM, 128 GB Flash and 2 TB onboard storage support.
The latest wireless. 2nd-generation 5G (TC58e), Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 for the fastest, most reliable connections.
A bigger, brighter display. A 6-inch FHD+ edge-to-edge display, readable indoors and out, working when wet and with gloves.
Integrated RFID option. The TC53e-RFID adds short-range UHF RFID so workers can read tags without carrying a separate reader.
Secure and sustainable
The most secure TC5 yet. A dedicated hardware Secure Element gives best-in-class protection against hardware attacks and unauthorised access to sensitive data.
Fast, safe shared-device access. Identity Guardian lets a worker scan a badge and look at the device to unlock and provision it with the right apps and permissions, ending shared PINs and credential risk.
Zebra’s greenest TC5. Built with 25% post-consumer recycled plastics, free of mercury and PFO/PFOAs, with removable recyclable batteries and 98% biodegradable packaging, helping your ESG goals.
Clear audio. Three microphones, two speakers and AI neural-network noise suppression for intelligible calls on a noisy floor.
Easy to own over time
Long, predictable life. Available to buy for four years with support for a further four, plus extended future Android support, for a low total cost of ownership.
Unmatched battery options. Four PowerPrecision+ options, standard, BLE and wireless-charge 4680 mAh and extended 7000 mAh, with health stats that flag tiring batteries before they cause downtime.
One device, many roles. Doubles as a workstation, PBX handset and two-way radio, cutting the number of devices and the plastics and electronics you consume.

Frequently asked questions
How is the TC53e different from the TC53?
The e-generation adds a newer, more efficient processor, a hardware Secure Element, 2nd-gen 5G (TC58e), recycled-plastic construction and an integrated-RFID option (TC53e-RFID). If security, sustainability or RFID matter, choose the e-series.
What does the TC53e-RFID’s RFID do?
It adds integrated short-range UHF RFID so a worker can read tags directly, useful for inventory, asset tracking and stock counts, without carrying a separate sled or reader.
Is it worth it for the security alone?
For organisations handling sensitive data or running shared devices, the hardware Secure Element and Identity Guardian are a meaningful step up. We can help you weigh it against the standard TC53.
