The Vocera Communications Badge is one part of a complete wireless Voice over IP communication system developed by Vocera Communications. The badge is used primarily by medical and healthcare facilities and also in retail, hospitality, government and manufacturing settings. It provides a voice-controlled user interface to the Vocera Communications System.
The Vocera Badge is voice-controlled and has the ability to do role-based calling which allows people to call other users or facilities by name or title or function. Weighing less than 2 ounces (53.9 g), it contains a speaker, microphone, wireless radio and an OLED display that shows caller ID, text messages and alerts. The badge can be worn on a lanyard or with a universal clip to attach to the user's apparel or existing lanyard.
In their October 2011 S-1 filing with the SEC, Vocera reported cumulative unit shipments of over 300,000.

Famous quotes containing the word badge:
“It would much conduce to the public benefit, if, instead of discouraging free-thinking, there was erected in the midst of this free country a dianoetic academy, or seminary for free-thinkers, provided with retired chambers, and galleries, and shady walks and groves, where, after seven years spent in silence and meditation, a man might commence a genuine free-thinker, and from that time forward, have license to think what he pleased, and a badge to distinguish him from counterfeits.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
