Communicate intuitively with individuals or groups

Go beyond walkie-talkies and panic button point solutions to stay connected from the classroom and elsewhere

Stryker’s lightweight, wearable Smartbadge and Sync Badge brings together hands-free voice calling, secure messaging, notifications and a panic button in one device.

  • Say, “Okay Vocera” to wake up the device and initiate a conversation without needing to know names or numbers.
  • Enable administrators, teachers and school resource officers to stay connected from the classroom or elsewhere.
  • Get a near-real time directory view of teachers, administrative staff and resource officers, even across multiple campuses.

Create a communication hub for school security 
and safety

Request help quickly

Our solutions integrate with campus security technologies to help speed law enforcement and EMT response and allow broad communication in the event of a threat.

  • Press the panic button to quickly and discreetly send information using a one-way communication channel to security personnel.
  • Broadcast to a group or everyone in a facility to follow a protocol such as lockdown or shelter in place.
  • Teachers and staff can make a straight call to 911, and security supervisors can contact school resource officers directly.

Create a quieter environment for teaching
and learning

Fast, reliable communication for teachers and administrators

Help reduce classroom disruptions from overhead paging, intercoms, and/or walkie-talkies and give teachers more control over communication.

  • Users can call each other directly.
  • Use Do Not Disturb (DND) to allow focus on an activity.
  • Communications can be designed to automatically escalate, and DND mode can be overridden in an emergency.
