The Morning News : "Registered Nurse Lisa Lambert doesn't look like a Vulcan, but the small communicator badge she uses at Washington Regional Medical Center works like something straight out of Star Trek.
It's not quite as compact as the small badge worn by the Next Generation crew, but it weighs less than two ounces and is just more than an inch wide.
And it will even play the kooky transporter noise from the original television show if a staff member says, 'Beam me up Scotty.'
The device, however, is not science fiction, but a real world technology made by Cupertino, Calif.-based Vocera that uses wireless local area networks, or WiFi, to allow voice communication."
