Kirk to Engineering! The communications badge made famous in sci-fi has arrived. Dead zones are not a problem with this wearable voice-activated communications badge, designed for instant conversation in campus settings, such as hospitals or large retail stores. Individuals may be found by function or group, allowing service professionals to answer inquiries on the first call for assistance. Designed with elegant simplicity and intuitive use.

• Weighs less than 2 ounces and can be easily clipped to a pocket or lanyard
• The housing is made from recyclable plastic and the use of a rechargeable batter reduces the unnecessary waste of conventional spent batteries.

"The Vocera 'wearable device' makes communication convenient, simple and enjoyable. It is not only neat and small; it is convenient, nonintrusive and functional. It does not pretend to be anything more than it is. The best designs rid us of the unnecessary. No product demonstrates this better that the Vocera Communications Badge." -Gordon Bruce, IDSA, Owner, Gordon Bruce Design LLC
