Hi John, Thanks for the input. Yes we are looking at badges currently with an option to integrate with phones later. They had given us an option of 2.4 or 5Ghz and was not sure if there was an advantage of one over the other from Vocera perspective. They did send us a questionnaire and want to make sure we have the optimal solution for its success. Glad to hear they are thorough the configuration.

I am assuming you are talking about badges and not just the smartphone integration. You do need a very robust WiFi coverage to support Vocera - 5Ghz is the way to go. The real tuning is done at the badge configuration - Vocera allows you to tune the roaming characteristics of the badges so that they only scan for the channels you are using. Vocera is really good about helping you tune - in fact they are pretty demanding and won't take your word for it - they want to verify or run the configs they know work.

I am also interested on choice of 2.4Ghz vs 5Ghx. What tuning opportunity are available from the controller and call manager for smooth operations of vocera.
