Key Features

Ultimate Performance

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon® processor and Android 10 (upgradeable to Android 14), the EF550R enables faster and more secure operations, enhancing work efficiency. Users can quickly switch application screens thanks to the new Universal Flash Storage (UFS).

Faster, Wider BUT Less Power

The EF550R features 2x2 Multiple-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) technology. This allows multiple devices to communicate simultaneously with access points through pinpoint beamforming, improving Wi-Fi network speed, range, and capacity. The processing load is on the access point, not the device, which increases device battery cycle time.

Ultimate Rugged & Durability

Utilizing Bluebird TankSmith® technology, the EF550R is designed for enterprise environments with a best-in-class drop specification of 8 ft. (2.4m) and sealing up to IP68. This provides ultimate durability and usability in environments exposed to water, humidity, or dust.

The Largest Display

The largest-in-class 5.45-inch display offers more information to users and enhances working conditions with best-in-class outdoor readability, allowing users to read the screen even in bright sunlight.

Power Every Minute of Every Workday

The standard battery provides power for a full shift. For longer shifts, an extended battery is available (Standard: 14 hours, Extended: 19.8 hours).

Enhanced Data Capture

The enhanced barcode module provides high-speed barcode scanning, capable of reading damaged or contaminated labels. It supports proximity scan and extended range scan for ease of use.

Business Optimized Solution

Bluebird BOST™ (Business Optimizing Solutions) offers features optimized for enterprise device use, covering app development, device deployment, and business performance management as an integrated solution. BOST™ enables efficient integrated management for the EF550R.
