[Asterisk-Users] Vocera Communication Badge

[Philipp von Klitzing]

Hi there,

yesterday I came across the "Vocera Communication Badge" and now I'd like 
to know if anyone here has played with that thing (or even just seen it 
in real life), and if a price tag can be found for this device? 
Too bad they don't use SIP... ;-(
