U.S. Navy Tests Vocera's Wi-Fi Badges

U.S.S. Coronado, the U.S. Navy's sea-based battle lab, is testing Vocera Communications' Wi-Fi badges to facilitate instant communication among select crew members. Vocera's system combines 802.11b wireless LAN, VoIP, and speech recognition to enable mobile workers to speak with each other within networked environments, and instantly connect and communicate with one another using simple voice commands. The badge can be clipped to a shirt pocket or collar, or worn on a lanyard, enabling instant, hands-free communication.
