CONFIGURABLE DATA CAPTURE
Standard, Long-Range and RFID Capture from One Modular Platform
U21 offers several barcode, NFC and RFID configurations. Each project should choose one reader path and define the tags, labels, distance, SDK and battery version before production.
U21 Capture Options
TL10 / N5703 Scanning
Options for standard warehouse and logistics barcode tasks.
Zebra SE5500
A long-range option whose practical distance depends on the target labels and site.
NXP NQ310 NFC
An optional NFC configuration for approved cards or tags.
LF and UHF RFID
Optional RFID paths that require frequency, tag, antenna and range definition.
U21 Capture Decisions
Reader Selection
The U21 production build should lock one barcode engine and its software package.
Long-Range Test
U21 supports real labels, lighting and scan angles.
NFC Credential
State card or tag type and application protocol.
RFID Frequency
The quotation should define LF or UHF region, tag and required distance.
Application Scenarios
See how this rugged device supports real-world industrial workflows across different industries.
Warehouse, RFID and Shift-Power Workflows for U21
The U21 use cases differ mainly by reader technology and battery plan: conventional labels, long-range codes, NFC credentials or RFID tags. Configure the device around the assigned role instead of combining unnecessary options.
Warehouse Receiving and Picking
U21 can be configured for the scan engine around carton, shelf and location labels used during receiving and order picking.
Cold or Outdoor Logistics
U21 supports the listed IP55 and temperature limits to assess warehouse yards, refrigerated routes and seasonal handling.
RFID Asset and Animal Identification
The quotation should define one identification path—LF, NFC or UHF—around the actual tag population, regional frequency and acceptance distance.
Retail and Service Transactions
Combine Android applications, dual scan keys and optional NFC with the approved card or inventory workflow.
Optional Modules & Accessories
Select optional data capture modules, expansion features, and compatible accessories to match your deployment needs.
Battery, Dock and Grip Options for the Selected U21 Build
The U21 base package includes its cable and documentation, while the dock and pistol grip are separate choices. The purchase order should also state whether the hot-swap backup battery is part of the device configuration.

Which Android and memory platform does U21 use?
U21 runs Android 15 on an eight-core MT6765 platform. The standard memory package is 4GB RAM with 64GB internal storage, and a microSD card can add up to 128GB.
Which barcode engines can be configured in U21?
U21 lists TL10, Honeywell N5703 and Zebra SE5500 options. The selected engine, SDK, code set and reading conditions should be frozen for production.
Does every U21 support battery hot swap?
No. Hot swap applies only to the version configured with the optional 500mAh backup battery alongside the drawer-style 3900mAh main battery.
How should the SE5500 long-range distance be evaluated?
The stated 10–12m capability depends on the selected engine, barcode size, print quality, lighting and reading angle. Acceptance testing should use the buyer’s actual labels and operating conditions.
Which rugged and temperature limits are published for U21?
U21 is rated IP55, with an operating range of -20°C to 60°C and a storage range of -40°C to 70°C. Humidity limits are also listed for working and storage conditions.
