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:
“Signor Antonio, many a time and oft
In the Rialto you have rated me
About my moneys and my usances.
Still have I borne it with a patient shrug,
For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.
You call me misbeliever, cutthroat dog,
And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine,
And all for use of that which is mine own.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
