Big-Screen Rugged Handheld, Built to Expand
A 5.5-inch HD 1440 x 720 display, an octa-core 2.0GHz platform and a removable 4420 mAh or 5200 mAh battery, rated for 1.8 m / 5.91 ft. drops to concrete.
The C66 gives your teams a full-size enterprise screen in a device that still weighs 287 g / 10.12 oz., with barcode scanning, NFC and UHF RFID all available in the same chassis. Three configurations share one accessory set and one software image: the base C66 for barcode and NFC workflows, a Fingerprint build with a 508 dpi FIPS 201 sensor for identity verification, and a Built-in UHF build that reads tags at short range with nothing attached. The base build also takes the optional handle, the 5200 mAh pistol battery and the UHF back clip, so a barcode fleet can be upgraded to long-range RFID reading at up to 28m without buying a second device. Capture hardware comes from Zebra, Honeywell and Impinj, and every part number is published below. Android 11/13 with GMS, Zero-Touch and FOTA keeps the fleet inside the device management platform you already run.

Overview
The CedaGlo C66 is a large-screen rugged Android handheld designed for logistics, warehousing, manufacturing and retail. An octa-core 2.0GHz processor, memory options up to 6GB + 128GB and a 5.5-inch HD 1440 x 720 display give it the headroom for scanning, WMS and ERP clients running side by side, while an IP65-sealed body rated for 1.8 m / 5.91 ft. drops keeps it working on the dock, the shop floor and the yard.
Expandability is what sets the C66 apart in this class. The extended thimble connector on the back accepts a one-button handle, a 5200 mAh pistol battery with QC 3.0 quick charge, or a UHF back clip that turns the same handheld into a long-range RFID reader at up to 28m. Order the base C66 for barcode and NFC work today and add the accessory when a site starts tagging, or specify the Fingerprint build with a 508 dpi FIPS 201 sensor for identity verification, or the Built-in UHF build for short-range tag reading with nothing bolted on. All three share one chassis, one accessory set and one software image.
The components are named, not house-branded: Zebra SE4710 and SE4100 or Honeywell N6603, N6703, 6803FR and HS7 scan engines, Impinj E Series chips on both UHF versions working to EPC C1 GEN2 / ISO18000-6C, and fingerprint sensors carrying FIPS 201. Connectivity covers 802.11ax-ready (Wi-Fi 6-ready) dual-band Wi-Fi with fast roaming and WPA3-Enterprise security, 4G with Vo-LTE, Bluetooth 5.1 and four-constellation GNSS. Android 11/13 arrives with GMS, 90-day security updates, Android Enterprise Recommended, Zero-Touch, FOTA and support for Soti MobiControl and SafeUEM, so deployment fits the estate you already manage. Explore the full range of rugged mobile computers.

Accessory compatibility — the handle, the 5200 mAh pistol battery and the UHF back clip fit the base C66; the Fingerprint and Built-in UHF versions do not support pistol. Barcode scanning, built-in UHF and fingerprint are each ordered as options, so let us know which capabilities each site needs and we will confirm the build on your quotation.
Every value in this table matches the full Specifications section below.
A Closer Look at the Hardware
Expansion built into the backThe pin connector and twin latches form the extended thimble interface. Fit the one-button handle, the 5200 mAh pistol battery or the UHF back clip and the same base unit becomes a pistol-grip scanner or a long-range RFID reader, with no change of chassis and no new accessory range to source.
A scan trigger on both sidesScan keys sit on the left and right edges alongside the volume and power keys. Left-handed and right-handed operators work identically, and nobody reaches across the display to fire a scan mid-shift.
Scan window on top, USB-C belowThe scan window is on the top edge and the USB Type-C port on the bottom, so a charging cable never crosses the aiming path. A device on charge at the desk is still a device your team can scan with.

Proven Across Four Working Environments
Logistics and inbound receiving
- UHF back clip reads pallet tags at up to 28m, so a trailer is cleared from the dock door
- Handle and 5200 mAh pistol battery keep the trigger hand off the screen all shift
- 1.8 m / 5.91 ft. drop rating and IP65 sealing suit the dock apron and the yard
The result: one operator books in a full trailer without walking every pallet face.
Retail stock accuracy
- Built-in UHF reads hangtags at 2.4m with nothing attached to the device
- 297 g / 10.47 oz. in the hand makes a full-store count comfortable to complete
- Rear 13 MP autofocus camera captures damaged stock inside the same app
The result: cycle counts run on the shop floor without warehouse-sized hardware.
Warehouse and asset audits
- NFC at 2-4 cm confirms the exact tag in front of the auditor
- 508 dpi FIPS 201 fingerprint sensor ties every sign-off to a named person
- Removable battery keeps the audit running straight through a shift change
The result: an audit trail that records who verified each asset, not just when.
Manufacturing inspection rounds
- Multi-touch panel works with gloves and wet hands, so nobody stops to strip off PPE
- -20 ℃ to +50 ℃ operating range covers unheated plant, cold stores and yards
- 802.11ax-ready Wi-Fi with fast roaming holds the session across every access point
The result: inspection records are filed at the machine instead of typed up later.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far will the C66 read RFID tags?
Fitted with the UHF back clip, the C66 reads to 28m with an Impinj MR6 tag of 70 x 15mm, 28m with an Impinj M750 tag of the same size and 32m with an Alien H3 Anti-Metal tag of 130 x 42mm, at 1W with a 2W option available for Latin America and similar markets, and it sustains 1300+ tags/sec. The Built-in UHF version reads to 2.4m on the Impinj MR6 tag and 2.7m on the Alien H3 Anti-Metal tag with nothing attached to the device. Ranges are measured in the open outdoors in a low interference environment and the read rate in a laboratory low interference environment, so both are affected by tags and environment. We supply evaluation units so you can confirm the figures on your own tags and racking.
Which of the three configurations should I choose?
Choose the base C66 for barcode and NFC workflows. It is the lightest at 287 g / 10.12 oz. with a 4420 mAh removable battery, and it is the build that accepts the one-button handle, the 5200 mAh pistol battery and the UHF back clip, so it can be upgraded to long-range RFID reading whenever a site starts tagging. Choose the Fingerprint build where a person has to be identified at the point of work. It carries a 508 dpi sensor with FIPS 201 certification and a 5200mAh battery. Choose the Built-in UHF build for short-range tag reading with nothing attached, using a Linear Polarized Antenna inside the device and the same 5200mAh battery. All three share one chassis, one accessory set and one software image, so a mixed fleet stays simple to support.
Which scan engines and RFID chips does the C66 use?
Named enterprise components you can verify independently. Scan engine options are Zebra SE4710 and SE4100, and Honeywell N6603, N6703, 6803FR and HS7. Both UHF versions are based on Impinj E Series chips working to EPC C1 GEN2 / ISO18000-6C with Impinj Gen2X supported, across 865-868 MHz, 920-925 MHz and 902-928 MHz. The fingerprint options are the TCS1 sensor with FIPS 201 and STQC, and the TLK1NC02 sensor with FIPS 201 and FBI certification, both at 508 dpi. Supporting them is an octa-core 2.0GHz platform with 3GB + 32GB up to 6GB + 128GB of memory and a 5.5-inch IPS 1440 x 720 display.
How long will a C66 fleet stay in service?
The two components that usually retire a handheld are both serviceable on the C66. The main battery is removable in every configuration, 4420 mAh on the base build and 5200mAh on the Fingerprint and Built-in UHF builds, giving standby of up to 490 hours and over 12 hours of continuous use depending on user environment, with a 2.5 hour charge. An ageing fleet is refreshed with cells rather than replaced. On the software side, Android 11/13 ships with GMS, 90-day security updates, Android Enterprise Recommended, Zero-Touch and FOTA, and storage expands to 256GB on a Micro SD (TF) card. Warranty length and spare part availability are confirmed in writing with your order.
How rugged is the C66?
It is specified for continuous industrial use. The C66 withstands multiple 1.8 m / 5.91 ft. drops to concrete, at least 20 times, across the full operating temperature range, and multiple 2.4 m / 7.87 ft. drops once the rubber bumper is fitted, plus 1000 tumbles of 0.5 m / 1.64 ft. at room temperature. Sealing is IP65 per IEC sealing specifications with IP67 available as an option, and the device operates from -20 to +50 degrees Celsius with storage down to -40 degrees Celsius. ESD protection is rated at plus or minus 15 KV air discharge and plus or minus 8 KV conductive discharge, and the multi-touch panel is specified for gloves and wet hands.
How is the C66 supported and serviced?
Wearing parts are ordered individually, so a damaged accessory does not take the device out of service. The main battery, the separate handle, the handle with 5200mAh battery, the UHF back clip with handle, the wrist strap, the rubber bumper, the charging cradle and the lanyard are all separately orderable. Charging and data run over a single USB Type-C port with USB 3.1 and OTG, while the extended thimble connector carries the handle and back clip. For software, the CedaGlo Software Development Kit with Java, Eclipse and Android Studio lets your developers build scanning and RFID into existing applications, and Zero-Touch with FOTA enrols and updates the fleet remotely. Warranty terms, spare part supply and RMA turnaround are confirmed in writing with your order.
