Honeywell CT45XP (SIM+WLAN) Mobile Computer - Rugged Android Handheld with FlexRange Scanner for Enterprise

Q: What is the difference between the CT45 and CT45XP models?

The CT45XP is the premium model featuring 6GB RAM (vs 4GB), Full HD 1920x1080 display (vs HD 1280x720), Wi-Fi 6 with 2x2 MU-MIMO technology (vs Wi-Fi 5), enhanced touchscreen with water droplet rejection, eSIM plus nano SIM (vs dual nano SIM), a second BLE for device tracking even when powered off, and availability of the S0803 XLR extended-range scanner option. Both models share the same rugged construction, Android OS support through Mobility Edge, 4G LTE Advanced connectivity, and 64GB internal storage.

Q: How long is Android OS support guaranteed on the CT45?

The CT45 and CT45XP are built on Honeywell's Mobility Edge platform, which guarantees Android OS support from Android 11 through at least Android 13. Honeywell has committed to supporting Android 14 and Android 15 pending feasibility confirmation. This long lifecycle support protects your investment by ensuring security updates, feature enhancements, and application compatibility for years, eliminating the need for premature hardware replacement due to OS obsolescence.

Q: Can the CT45 scan barcodes at warehouse rack heights without a ladder?

Yes, when equipped with the FlexRange or S0803 XLR scanning engine, the CT45 can capture barcodes from distances up to 5 meters (over 16 feet), eliminating the need for ladders to scan items on high warehouse shelves. The FlexRange technology also handles near-contact scanning down to 0 meters, so a single device covers all your scanning needs from shelf-level picking to overhead rack scanning, improving worker safety and productivity.

Q: Is the CT45 compatible with AT&T FirstNet for public safety and emergency services?

Yes, the CT45 mobile computer is AT&T FirstNet compliant, making it suitable for public safety, emergency response, and government organizations that require access to this dedicated communications network. The device supports 4G LTE Advanced with download speeds up to 390 Mbps (CAT13) and upload speeds up to 75 Mbps (CAT5), along with comprehensive LTE band support including FirstNet Band 14, ensuring reliable connectivity during mission-critical operations.

Q: Will the touchscreen work with gloves and in wet conditions?

Yes, the CT45 features a rugged capacitive multi-touch screen that supports glove mode, stylus input, and rain mode operation. The CT45XP model includes an advanced water droplet rejection feature that maintains touch accuracy even when the screen is wet. The display uses Gorilla Glass 5 with optical bonding for enhanced durability and outdoor readability, ensuring consistent performance across varying environmental conditions common in warehouse, retail, and field service environments.

Q: How rugged is the CT45, and what drop specification does it meet?

The CT45 is independently certified to IP68 and IP65 standards for complete protection against dust and water immersion. It survives multiple drops from 6 feet (1.8m) to concrete across the operating temperature range of -20°C to +50°C, meeting MIL-STD-810H specifications. When used with Honeywell's protective boot accessory, the drop specification increases to 8 feet (2.4m). The device also passes a 1,500+ tumble test from 1 meter, simulating years of accidental drops and impacts in demanding work environments.

Q: What battery life can I expect, and how long does charging take?

The CT45 uses a 4020mAh Li-Ion smart battery with integrated diagnostics that supports full-shift operation for most enterprise applications. Actual runtime varies based on usage patterns including scanning frequency, wireless connectivity, display brightness, and application workload. The battery supports Quick Charge 3.0 technology and reaches full charge in under 3 hours. The device supports hot-swapping, allowing workers to exchange depleted batteries for charged ones without powering down, ensuring continuous uptime across multiple shifts.

Q: Does the CT45 support NFC for contactless payments and asset tagging?

Yes, the CT45 includes an integrated NFC reader that supports ISO/IEC 14443 Type A and B, ISO/IEC 15693 (ICode), MIFARE 1K/4K, MIFARE DESFire, Sony FeliCa, and ISO/IEC 18092 Type F standards. This enables contactless payment processing, loyalty card reading, access control credential verification, NFC asset tag reading/writing, and peer-to-peer data exchange with other NFC-enabled devices, making it suitable for retail, hospitality, and asset management applications.

Q: What accessories are available for the CT45?

Honeywell offers a comprehensive accessory ecosystem for the CT45 including charging solutions (single-bay and multi-bay charging docks, battery chargers, vehicle chargers), mounting options (universal cradles, cup holders, vehicle mounts), protective accessories (rugged boots that increase drop spec to 8 feet, screen protectors, hand straps), scan handle attachments for pistol-grip ergonomics, and connectivity accessories. The CT45 uses a durable flat I/O connector and USB Type-C port for accessory attachment and charging.

Q: Can the CT45 be managed remotely with enterprise mobility management (EMM) systems?

Yes, as an Android enterprise device built on the Mobility Edge platform, the CT45 supports standard Android Enterprise management including Android Enterprise Recommended, zero-touch enrollment, and compatibility with leading EMM/UEM platforms such as VMware Workspace ONE, Microsoft Intune, SOTI MobiControl, and others. Honeywell also provides Mobility Edge utilities, device diagnostics tools, and operational intelligence software for streamlined deployment, configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting across your mobile device fleet.
