The handset can also be dynamically assigned to separate users, letting the device to be shared across different users and shifts, with voice mail and text messages sent to the user, not the device.
Other features include WPA2 security support and Wi-Fi Multimedia quality of service support that prioritizes voice packets over an 802.11b/g wireless network.

Vocera says the T1000 will be available to new and existing Vocera customers in Q4 2008. More details are available at the Vocera Web site.
