Separate Wi-Fi and cellular needs
Store or warehouse operations may favour Wi-Fi, while field teams often require validated cellular connectivity.
Audit applications and accessories
Android versions, fleet management, handles, cases, batteries and docks should not be assumed to be interchangeable.
Deploy through a pilot group
A small test fleet confirms scanning, battery life, network performance and ergonomics before full replacement.
Points to validate
- Wi-Fi or cellular choice based on workforce needs
- Validation of Android, applications and accessories
- Progressive migration after field testing
Frequently asked questions
Do TC21/TC26 accessories work with TC22/TC27?
Do not assume they do. Each accessory must be checked against the new terminal reference and configuration.
Why test the application before replacement?
Testing confirms Android compatibility, scanning, network, peripherals and fleet-management policies.
