Extra quality is the practice of applying additional validation, configuration, and deployment safeguards beyond the vendor’s basic instructions. It reduces risk and increases uptime by catching issues early and tailoring updates to your environment.
Furthermore, “extra quality” in TC26 firmware directly translates to lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Poor firmware leads to help desk tickets, device resets, and worker frustration. A study of enterprise mobility deployments consistently shows that unexplained scanner failures or connectivity issues are the top drivers of user-reported downtime. When a warehouse picker spends two minutes rebooting a TC26 because of a firmware-induced freeze, that cost multiplies across hundreds of devices and thousands of shifts. Conversely, stable, high-quality firmware reduces support calls by as much as 30%, allowing IT teams to focus on strategic projects rather than firefighting. For the TC26, which is often deployed in harsh environments without constant IT oversight, this reliability is paramount.
