Wireless Voice
Clinical-Grade Voice and Messaging Mobile Platforms
Hospitals are complex environments with diverse needs. For many customers, it makes sense to have a unified mobile device to support both traditional, in-house voice communications, as well as robust messaging.
TPC offers several products to support wireless voice applications, including Ascom and Vocera.
Ascom Purpose Built WiFi Communications
The Ascom suite of products complements other hospital communication technologies as its entire system was designed around delivering messages and critical alarms to caregivers and support staff. In addition, Ascom’s clinical grade handsets meet the rigorous demands of day-to-day hospital use.
Ascom is the right solution when:
- Speech recognition-based technologies are impractical because of environmental factors or user characteristics
- Durable, rugged devices are required
- Messaging and alarm notification go beyond simple alerts
- Overlaying more traffic on the existing 802.11 network is not a reliable option and a private communication network is desired
Features
- Facility-wide, wireless communication framework that allows in-house users to receive and confirm receipt of voice calls and text messages
- Integrates seamlessly with your existing telephone system
- Integrates with all major clinical information systems, nurse call systems, patient monitoring systems and more
- Utilizes IEEE standards for seamless integration toward your existing LAN and WLAN infrastructure
- Scalable to 1000+ VoWiFi handsets
- Rugged, clinical-grade portable handset resists solvents and features a push button alarm and large backlit display
Vocera Instant Communication
The Vocera Communications System is an additional wireless platform that provides hands-free, voice communication throughout any 802.11b/g networked building or campus. The system enables fluid, instant voice conversations among team members, across groups, and throughout an organization of mobile professionals.
Vocera provides many benefits as a standard for mobile communications:
- Easy-to-use communication devices that are unobtrusive and virtually hands-free
- Reliable, standards-based platform provides interoperability with existing monitoring and communications systems
- Eliminates the need for daily call sheets and other directory services with intuitive voice-driven calling
- Performs all functions of a phone allowing caregivers the ability to stay patient-side during calls to in-house extensions and physicians’ pagers
- Call by group function improves workflow by allowing caregivers immediate access to needed roles
