Background
The TEAM badge (EWB100) brings a new level of affordability and portability to mobile voice, providing
basic Push-to-Talk (PTT) communications that enables enterprises to extend the benefits of on-the-spot
voice to new workers and workgroups inside the four walls. This miniature device gives store associates,
task workers and other employees the capability to instantly respond to customer or management
requests, receive and confirm tasks and to reach out for assistance on the spot. With a voice connection
clipped to their lapel, workers have instant access and are instantly accessible, eliminating wasted time
and improving business efficiency.
The TEAM badge uses the Motorola TEAM Express voice client, providing one-to-many PTT over WLAN
broadcast communications with private one-to-one callback. The TEAM badge easily integrates with your
customer's existing 802.11b/g WLAN architecture — no servers or PBX integration required
(communications are limited to a single WLAN subnet). The intuitive 5-button user interface practically
eliminates the need for user training, further simplifying deployment. In addition, the TEAM badge can
interoperate with:
•Other Motorola voice-enabled devices via the TEAM Express client, including Motorola mobile
computers (purchase/download required)
•TEAM VoWLAN devices (TEAM Express is included with EWP1000/2000 R1.5 or later)
•Two-way radios via the TEAM Radio Link Solution (RLS)
This rich interoperability provides enterprises the freedom to select the right device with the right features
and services for their different users — while still enabling push button voice communications between
users on different networks.
The TEAM badge is purpose built to offer convenient and
affordable push-to-talk (PTT) communications — providing the
right form factor, acoustic performance and price point for the
job. Weighing in at 1.6 oz. (45.37g) and just 2.5 in. x 1.5 in. (6.35
cm x 3.81 cm), the TEAM badge is unobtrusive and easy to carry
in any environment. The compact and lightweight device can be
clipped to a shirt, tucked in a pocket or worn on a neck or wrist
lanyard. The TEAM badge also features Motorola's superior
voice technology, with high-quality specifications for loudness,
echo/noise suppression and more. Durable construction ensures
the TEAM badge stands up to everyday use including the ability
to withstand dust, liquid spills, wipe downs and inevitable drops.
The 590mAh battery provides ample power for a full 10-hour
shift.
With the cost-effective TEAM badge, you can help your
customers extend their existing mobility solution to new workers
and workgroups, enabling real-time collaboration between more workers. As with other mobile
communications solutions, your customers can expect multiple benefits and an outstanding return on
investment (ROI), including:
•Improved service and sales: Sales associates can reach backroom staff to check inventory, check
pricing, bring an item to the sales floor for a customer and more, eliminating the need to leave the
customer’s side — and the opportunity for lost sales.
•Improved staff utilization: Supervisors can reach task workers — for example, to reassign retail
associates to other departments to address periods of heavy customer traffic — improving the
efficiency of task management and enabling the same number of task workers to complete more
tasks per day.
