<h2 style="margin: 0 0 8px 0;"><strong>Turn Zebra Mobile Devices into Desktop Workstations</strong></h2>
<p>Zebra&rsquo;s <strong>Workstation Connect</strong> solution bridges the gap between mobile and desktop workflows. With a docking cradle, Zebra Android devices like the TC22/TC27 or ET6x series can instantly become fully functional desktop terminals, complete with peripherals, monitors, and ethernet. This allows businesses to streamline operations, reduce hardware costs, and simplify IT management.</p>

<h2 style="margin: 10px 0 12px 0;"><strong>What is Zebra Workstation Connect?</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Zebra Workstation Connect</strong> is a combination of software and hardware that allows Zebra mobile computers or tablets to power a full workstation or POS setup when docked. Devices can be connected to an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner, and other peripherals&mdash;no traditional desktop PC required.</p>

<h2 style="margin: 0 0 10px 0;"><strong>Key Benefits of Workstation Connect</strong></h2>
<p>Organizations can maximize productivity and flexibility with a single mobile device that handles both handheld and desktop tasks. Benefits include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>PC Replacement:</strong> Eliminate the need for desktop PCs. Zebra devices can manage both mobile and stationary workflows in one compact unit.</li>
<li><strong>Instant Desktop Mode:</strong> When docked, devices present a desktop-like interface on an external monitor, allowing users to multitask with ease.</li>
<li><strong>Seamless Mode Switching:</strong> Users can undock and redock without restarting applications or losing data. This is ideal for roles that transition between mobile and fixed tasks.</li>
<li><strong>Peripheral Integration:</strong> HDMI, Ethernet, USB, scanners, keyboards, and printers connect easily through the docking cradle.</li>
<li><strong>IT-Friendly Deployment:</strong> Administrators can remotely configure desktop UI behavior, restrict access to specific apps, and manage permissions using Zebra StageNow or supported MDM platforms.</li>
<li><strong>Secure and Controlled:</strong> Enterprises can apply custom branding, enforce security policies, and limit peripheral functionality to reduce risk.</li>
</ul>
