  Vocera Puts Wi-Fi on Your Collar
Time: 13:11 EST/18:11 GMT | News Source: News.com | Posted By: Fred Fernandez

Vocera Communications Badge Vocera Communications has begun selling a wireless telephone system that replaces bulky handsets with badges pinned to shirt collars, the company said on Monday.

Vocera's telephone system, which it announced in June, is a new breed of phone network that uses Wi-Fi, a wireless networking standard that creates 300-foot zones of wireless connectivity. Because of Wi-Fi's short range, Vocera thinks its equipment will be used to replace intercom networks in warehouses or hospitals.

Wi-Fi-based phone systems from companies such as SpectraLink have been on sale for years, but most involve bulky handsets that weigh more than a pound each. The Vocera badge weighs about 100g, light enough to pin to a shirt or shirt collar, according to records on file with the Federal Communications Commission.
