TC55

LOWER TCO THAN A CONSUMER SMARTPHONE
Since the purchase price of a consumer smartphone is substantially lower than the TC55, consumer smartphones may seem
like a viable solution for your customers. In reality, the savings ends the moment the consumer smartphone is purchased. Lack
of durability translates into frequent device repairs and the need to replace the device more often than the enterprise class
TC55. Device downtime translates into costly worker downtime and IT support costs. And lack of integrated enterprise data
capture features such as bar code scanning can reduce worker productivity and add cost in the form of accessories that are
required to obtain needed functionality — such as bar code sleds.
The chart below reveals the startling net results:
• An Apple iPhone 4S with a scanning sled will typically cost an enterprise 36 percent more than the TC55 over four years.
(Calculations do not include carrier subsidy or support plan.)
• An S4 Active with a boot will typically cost an enterprise 28 percent more than the TC55 over four years. (Calculations
include a service plan and purchase of replacement device after two years, due to life expectancy of consumer-style devices.)
Note that the statistics in the above chart above were calculated by Motorola Solutions using
VDC Research mobile device TCO algorithms.
