StayLinked and Datalogic Announce Strategic Partnership

SmartTE Now Pre-Licensed on Skorpio X5

At StayLinked, we’re always looking for ways to make it easier for enterprises to get the most out of their devices and applications. That’s why we’re excited to share some big news: SmartTE now comes pre-loaded and pre-licensed on the Datalogic Skorpio X5.

This collaboration with Datalogic means that customers can start using SmartTE right out of the box—no extra steps, no licensing hassles, and no recurring fees. It’s about helping organizations modernize workflows and reduce costs, while giving them the tools they need to adapt quickly in a changing enterprise landscape.

The Hidden Costs of Dropped Sessions

For years, terminal emulation has been the backbone of enterprise mobility, especially in warehouses, logistics, and retail. But as many vendors move toward subscription-only models, businesses are facing higher costs and added complexity.

“Our partnership with StayLinked reflects a shared commitment to reliability and security. By combining Datalogic's most reliable and secure Skorpio X5 hardware with StayLinked, SmartTE customers gain a seamless and more productive experience, free from the disruption of dropped sessions.”

— Rosario Casillo, Executive VP Product and Solutions, Datalogic

By pre-licensing SmartTE on the Skorpio X5, Datalogic and StayLinked are offering a different path. Customers gain immediate value, with a solution that’s simple to deploy, easy to manage, and designed to scale. As our Director of Business Development & Alliances in EMEA, Raymond Wolfert, put it:

“We’re helping businesses stay in control, reduce costs, and unlock the full value of their devices—right now, right out of the box.”

What SmartTE Brings to the Table

SmartTE is more than just terminal emulation—it’s a way to keep mission-critical workflows running smoothly while modernizing at your own pace. With SmartTE on the Skorpio X5, customers benefit from:

• Session persistence that keeps work going, even if the network drops.
• 5G and Wi-Fi roaming for uninterrupted connectivity in dynamic environments.
• Touch-friendly modernization that makes legacy green-screen apps easier to use.
• Enterprise-wide management to configure and update thousands of devices in real time.

And behind it all, StayLinked’s world-class support ensures that customers always have the expertise and guidance they need.

“Now, with every Skorpio X5 gun grip model purchase, users receive a free perpetual SmartTE license and one year of maintenance support, making this powerful integration available right out of the box, at no additional cost.”

Why the Skorpio X5?

The Datalogic Skorpio X5 is built for demanding environments, making it an ideal match for SmartTE. It’s rugged, reliable, and powered by the Qualcomm® SDA660 processor for top-tier performance. With features like advanced barcode scanning, an IP65 rating for durability, and future-ready connectivity (5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth® 5.2), the Skorpio X5 is ready to handle today’s toughest enterprise challenges.

When paired with SmartTE, it becomes a complete solution: powerful hardware and enterprise-proven software working together seamlessly.

A Smarter Standard for Enterprise Mobility?

This partnership represents more than convenience—it sets a new standard for what enterprises should expect from their mobile solutions. No hidden fees. No complicated licensing. Just devices that work the way you need them to, right from the start.

“With SmartTE pre-installed, businesses gain not only a best-in-class enterprise mobile solution but also the ability to deploy and manage their systems with ease.”

— Jay Cichosz, Chief Alliances Officer, StayLinked

At StayLinked, we believe modernization shouldn’t come at the expense of control or flexibility. Our partnership with Datalogic and the launch of SmartTE on the Skorpio X5 are part of that mission—helping enterprises stay connected, productive, and ready for whatever comes next.
