Honeywell CT45 Highly Rugged Enterprise Mobile Computer

The Honeywell CT45 XP / CT45 family is a highly rugged enterprise Android mobile computer designed for frontline workers in retail, logistics, field service and mobile business operations. Built on Honeywell’s Mobility Edge platform, the CT45 series combines durable hardware, reliable wireless connectivity, enterprise lifecycle support and professional barcode scanning in a compact handheld form factor. The CT45 family is positioned for businesses that need a dependable mobile platform for workflows such as inventory management, order lookup, delivery, cycle counting, asset management, retail floor operations, warehouse support and field data capture. It is designed to bridge the gap between lightweight smartphone-style enterprise devices and larger industrial mobile computers, offering a rugged but still practical everyday form factor. The Mobility Edge platform provides a stable and secure foundation for long-term enterprise deployments. The CT45 family is planned to support Android versions from Android 11 to Android 14, with planned support for Android 15 subject to feasibility. This helps companies standardize application development, accelerate deployments, simplify maintenance and extend the lifecycle of their mobile solutions. The CT45 XP and CT45 are powered by a Qualcomm QCS4290 / QCM4290 octa-core 2.0 GHz processor. The CT45 XP includes 6 GB RAM / 64 GB UFS Flash, while the CT45 offers 4 GB RAM / 64 GB UFS Flash. Both models include a 13-megapixel rear camera, 8-megapixel front-facing camera, user-accessible microSD expansion up to 512 GB, and Honeywell SDK support for Android applications. The display configuration depends on model. The CT45 XP features a 5.0-inch Full HD 1920 × 1080 display, while the CT45 uses a 5.0-inch HD 1280 × 720 display. The rugged capacitive touch panel is optically bonded for durability and supports glove, stylus and rain modes on the CT45 XP. Water droplet rejection and screen protector operation help maintain usability in wet or challenging environments. Gorilla Glass 5 provides additional resistance against drops and wear. Barcode scanning is supported through Honeywell FlexRange and Honeywell S0703 scan engine options for 1D/2D symbologies. The FlexRange option gives the CT45 family significantly more flexibility than typical compact mobile computers, supporting barcode capture from short distances up to long-range warehouse-style scanning. This makes the device useful for retail shelves, backroom inventory, logistics labels, delivery workflows and selected warehouse tasks. Wireless connectivity is designed for mobile enterprise use. The CT45 XP offers Wi-Fi 6 on selected configurations with 2x2 MU-MIMO, improving throughput and voice/video communication reliability in dense wireless environments. Other CT45 configurations support Wi-Fi 5. The family also supports LTE Advanced WWAN, Bluetooth 5.1 with BLE, NFC, GPS/GNSS, VPN and Push-to-Talk. The CT45 XP also includes a secondary BLE beacon that can support device-finding capability even after the primary battery is depleted for a certain period. Durability is a major strength of the CT45 family. The devices are independently certified to IP65 and IP68, protecting against dust and moisture intrusion. They withstand multiple 1.8 m drops to concrete across the operating temperature range and multiple 2.4 m drops with protective boot. The devices also exceed 1,500 tumbles at 1 m, supporting demanding daily use in retail, logistics and field environments. The CT45 XP includes battery warm swap, allowing battery replacement with programmatic intervention and reducing workflow interruption. The 4020 mAh smart battery includes integrated diagnostics, supports Quick Charge 3.0 and can be fully charged in less than 3 hours, with 12+ hours of operation depending on use case. The CT45 family also integrates with Honeywell enterprise software such as Operational Intelligence for asset optimization and Smart Talk for unified communications. These tools can help reduce IT support effort, improve team communication and provide better visibility into device usage and health. The Honeywell CT45 XP / CT45 is a strong choice for businesses that need a rugged, compact enterprise mobile computer with Android lifecycle support, reliable wireless communication, strong barcode scanning and broad enterprise software integration. It is especially suitable for retail operations, logistics, delivery, fieldwork and mobile workflows where durability, manageability and usability must be balanced.
