Modern workflows no longer stay confined within traditional walls. The CipherLab RS38 is a rugged 5G touch mobile computer engineered to perform seamlessly both in dynamic outdoor environments and demanding indoor settings like warehouses, logistics hubs, retail floors, and field operations. With advanced connectivity, enterprise data capture, a durable industrial build, and a flexible accessory ecosystem, the RS38 adapts effortlessly across your entire operation.
6.0” Large Display — More Screen Space for Better Productivity
One of the defining advantages of the CipherLab RS38 is its generous 6.0-inch high-brightness touchscreen that offers more visible workspace than smaller handhelds, reducing the need for constant screen changes. More screen space means:
More data visible at once — fewer taps and scrolls
Easier viewing of item details, locations, quantities, and images
Enhanced usability for modern WMS, ERP, and Android applications
Faster workflows and reduced user fatigue
Designed for enterprise conditions, the touchscreen supports stylus, bare finger, or gloved operation and remains responsive in bright outdoor conditions — making it ideal for frontline workers on the move.
High-Performance Android 13 Platform
Powered by a Qualcomm QCM4490 octa-core processor, the RS38 runs Android 13 with planned upgrades to future Android versions. Certified with Google Mobile Services (GMS), the platform ensures robust security, long-term stability, and broad application compatibility. Standard configuration includes 8GB RAM and 128GB storage with expandable storage via microSD, supporting everything from simple scanning tasks to advanced enterprise workflows.
The Key Advantage: 5G Connectivity
Fast, Reliable Connectivity Wherever Work Happens
The defining strength of the RS38 is its 5G connectivity, enabling real-time access to cloud systems across warehouses, vehicles, and field locations. With 5G, mobile workers benefit from greater data speeds for cloud-based systems, lower latency for responsive mobile apps, and higher network capacity in dense environments — future-proofing operations as networks evolve. Additional connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and optional CBRS support for private wireless networking.
Hybrid Design — Built for Everywhere Your Work Happens
The RS38 is a true hybrid device capable of operating seamlessly across diverse work environments.
Outside the Four Walls
Ergonomic handheld design for mobile and field workers
5G connectivity for real-time data everywhere
Ideal for transport, delivery, and field service workflows
Inside the Four Walls
Optional accessory support for high-volume scanning
Cradle options for shift-based operations
Wi-Fi 6E for fast, stable indoor connectivity
This hybrid design allows organisations to standardise on one platform across frontline teams.
Built for Demanding Enterprise Conditions
Real work environments are tough — drops, dust, rain, and repetitive handling are everyday realities. The RS38 is engineered to handle this:
IP65 and IP68 sealing for dust and water resistance
1.5-metre drop resistance (up to 1.8 m with rubber boot)
Ergonomic, rugged industrial housing
Its robust design makes the RS38 ideal for both indoor warehouse floors and outdoor operations without compromising comfort for all-day use.
Enterprise-Grade Scanning & Data Capture
The RS38 delivers versatile data capture through:
Multiple barcode scanning options (SE4100, SE4770, SE5500) for close-range to long-range scanning
Optional UHF RFID reader for bulk tag reading and real-time asset tracking
Built-in OCR for automatic text capture directly into digital workflows
High-resolution 16MP rear camera and 8MP front camera for documentation and proof of delivery
All-Day Power with Hot-Swap Capability
Equipped with a hot-swappable battery, the RS38 supports uninterrupted multi-shift operation. Choose between the 4500 mAh standard battery or the 6800 mAh extended battery, both designed for long operating times and easy swapping without powering down, keeping workflows continuous and productive.
Fully Interoperable Accessory Ecosystem
The RS38 features a flexible accessory ecosystem that adapts easily between handheld and workstation modes. Accessories include charging cradles, workstation cradles, battery chargers, rugged boots, shoulder straps, pistol grips, and more — making deployment and fleet management more efficient and cost-effective.
