DESIGNED FOR MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY

• True ‘no-host’ one-piece wearable
  With the all-in-one WS50, workers only need to wear one device to capture and access data instead of a host mobile computer and ring scanner, providing a true converged wearable solution. And push-to-talk (PTT) support eliminates the need for separate voice devices.
• Wear it your way with modular mounting options
  With three different wearing styles, the adaptable WS50 is ideal for virtually any task worker in practically any industry. The WS50 can be worn on a wrist, two fingers or the back of the hand.
• Push-to-talk (PTT) support for better collaboration
  With an embedded microphone and speaker, the WS501 allows staff to instantly reach co-workers and supervisors with the push of a button for fast issue resolution — without the need to purchase and manage separate voice devices.

ALL THE KEY FEATURES OF A FULL-SIZE MOBILE COMPUTER

• Better connect the workforce with push-to-talk (PTT) and task management applications
  All models are PTT ready, enabling managers and workers to instantly collaborate for faster issue resolution and increased staff productivity. All models also support task-management applications, enabling better staff utilization and management.
• High-resolution camera for light barcode scanning and photo capture
  A 13 MP camera in the wrist-mounted model supports occasional barcode scanning and can capture detailed photos to document proof of condition and more.
• Advanced enterprise-class scanner for intense barcode scanning
  The converged two-finger-and back-of-hand mount WS50 models include Zebra’s SE4770 imager, delivering superior data capture performance. Scan virtually any barcode in practically any condition, as fast as you can press the trigger — even if they are damaged or poorly printed. Superior motion tolerance enables the capture of barcodes, even if scanner and barcode are in motion. No need to depress the trigger for every scan — scan continuously with an optional integrated proximity sensor. A wide field of view makes it easy to capture large or multiple barcodes with split-second point-and-shoot simplicity. With a single trigger press, capture, properly format and transmit data on all barcodes on a label with Zebra’s Multi-Code Data Formatting.
• Simplify backroom device and battery management — and purchasing — with modular accessories
  Choose the charging solution that matches the deployment and device management needs — 2- or 10-slot charge-only cradles; 4- or 20-slot battery chargers, or an Ethernet cradle that supports five devices and five batteries. In mixed model deployments, color-coding allows you to instantly see whether a cradle or charger is for the two-finger and back-of-hand mount converged models — or the wrist-mount models. 

• The power of Android
  This industry-standard mobile operating system provides a future proof platform designed to easily accommodate new features. 

• Integrated audio features
  Give users the power of instant voice communications with the embedded speaker and microphone. Wirelessly connect a Bluetooth headset, eliminating cords and enabling more private communications. And you can dedicate a button for PTT communications. 
• Powerful, centralized management for all models
  The WS50 supports major Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) systems, providing a single pane of glass to manage all of your mobile devices.
• All the wireless connections you need
  Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC are all standard in the WS50, enabling robust Wi-Fi ‘won’t fail’ connections and easy one-tap connections to Bluetooth peripherals. 

• Full-shift perpetual power
  With removable, hot-swappable batteries, devices can remain in service every minute of every shift. An 800mAh battery powers the wrist mount model, while a 1300mAh battery powers the ring-style and back-of-hand models. With fast charging, batteries are ready to go in less than three hours. And with hot swap support, users can just swap batteries and keep on working — no need to power down. 

• Automate workflows with programmable buttons
  Make task execution even easier on the two-inch screen with programmable buttons that can be mapped to different functions, such as PTT, navigation, scanning, photo capture and more. 
• Small but mighty with a built-in rugged design
  Don’t underestimate these small devices. They weigh in at just a handful of ounces, but are built to handle all-day everyday enterprise use. Extreme heat and cold, bumps and drops — the WS50 handles it all. The wrist mount model operates reliably after multiple 4 ft./1.2 m drops and 1,000 consecutive tumbles. The more rugged ring-style and back-of-hand models operate reliably after multiple 6 ft./1.8 m drops and 2,000 consecutive tumbles. With IP65 sealing, all models are dust-tight and survive jetting water. And the protective front shell is replaceable, keeping devices looking like new. 
• Advanced touchscreen display
  The two-inch AMOLED color display offers exceptional performance. It is extraordinarily bright — no backlight is required. Better contrast and better viewing angles deliver superior readability. And low power consumption extends battery run time.
• Optimize efficiency and accuracy with enterprise-class UHF RFID
  With high performance UHF RFID functionality, the WS50 RFID empowers workers to be more efficient and effective. The WS50 RFID can read RFID tags up to 5 ft./1.5 m away. With an integrated upward facing antenna and external downward antenna, the WS50 RFID is ideal for a wide variety of use cases, including package sorting, item picking and user locationing. And Zebra’s industry-leading RFID technology ensures extraordinary reliability and read accuracy.

DRIVE WORKFORCE PRODUCTIVITY AND DEVICE VALUE TO A NEW LEVEL WITH POWERFUL ZEBRA-ONLY MOBILITY DNA TOOLS

  The Enterprise Mobility Development Kit (EMDK) makes it easy to take full advantage of all device features. And DataWedge easily captures, properly formats and transmits data in the right order to the right applications — without coding or modifying existing apps.
• Increase device and data security
  Mobility Extensions (Mx) adds extra layers of features that are crucial to protecting devices, their resident data and network access. LifeGuard for Android provides a lifetime security guard for Android, protecting your devices every day they are in service. And Enterprise Home Screen allows you to specify the apps and device features users can access, protecting productivity and increasing device and network security.
• Simplify deployment and management
  Stage thousands of devices with a scan of a barcode or a tap of an NFC tag. Test major device systems to eliminate unnecessary trips to the Service Center with the on-device Device Diagnostics Tool. And easily integrate all Zebra APIs via your EMM with OEM Config.
• Optimize the Wi-Fi network
  Mobility DNA Wireless Fusion provides a dependable and superior Wi-Fi experience with Zebra-only features that keep workers connected and productive while roaming their facility.

THE POWER TO SUPPORT ALL OF YOUR CUSTOMER’S APPS

• More memory to support multiple apps
  With RAM and Flash memory that rivals market-leading handheld mobile computers, the WS501 can run multiple apps simultaneously, with fast screen refreshes that will never keep workers waiting.
• Fastest and reliable Wi-Fi connections
  Wi-Fi 6 enables more simultaneous network connections, with improved speed, security and latency, reducing network congestion and increasing connection reliability. And with Mobility DNA Wireless Fusion — only from Zebra — workers get a superior ‘no dropped connections’ experience while roaming.
• Blazing Bluetooth peripheral performance
  Bluetooth 5.3 improves the performance of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) peripherals, delivering more speed, more range, more power efficiency, more security and faster pairing. 

BUILT TO LAST – WITH BUILT-IN INVESTMENT PROTECTION

• Compact but mighty with a built-in rugged design for a low TCO
  Don’t underestimate this compact device. It weighs in at just a handful of ounces, but is built to handle all-day everyday enterprise use. Extreme heat and cold, bumps and drops — the WS501 handles it all. The dust-tight WS501 survives jetting water — so you can just hose it off. And the protective front shell is replaceable on site, so you can easily keep devices looking new.
