Zebra EM series · Mid range
EM45 RFID
A pocket-size enterprise mobile device combining built-in short-range UHF RFID, a 50 MP camera, 5G and Wi-Fi 6E.
Built-in short-range RFID lets staff check stock, locate items and access critical information in seconds without a separate reader. The EM45 RFID connects over 5G and Wi-Fi 6E, is AI-capable and its battery charges fast. With Zebra DNA, integration, configuration and deployment are as easy as on Zebra's other Android devices.
