Vocera Press Releases

Cupertino, Calif. (July 12, 2006) — Vocera Communications, Inc., a wireless communications company providing instant voice communication for mobile personnel, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the Top 100 Private Company (AO100) award winners for the second time. Vocera was handpicked by the AlwaysOn editorial panel based on a set of five criteria — technology innovation, market potential, customer adoption, media buzz, and investor value creation.

Vocera and the AO100 will be honored as part of the AO2006: Stanford Summit, July 25–27, at the Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center on the Stanford University campus in Palo Alto, Calif. It will bring together successful entrepreneurs, business and political thought leaders, and top venture capitalists to spot trends and spark new ideas and initiatives.

The AO100 was selected from more than 1,000 companies and was peer-nominated by leading venture capitalists, investment bankers, and industry analysts. The AO100 consists of private companies at all stages of development, from early to late stage. This is Vocera Communications’ second appearance on the AO100.

“Vocera is honored to be recognized by the AlwaysOn Network as one of the Top 100 Private Companies,” said Julie Shimer, president and CEO, Vocera Communications. “Vocera has changed the voice communication paradigm for our customers; instantly connecting them to the resources they need through an intelligent, wearable voice-controlled system. Being named to the AlwaysOn Top 100 list validates our innovation and success.”

“The AO100 companies are driving the next wave of innovative technologies that are disrupting the old guard and shaping the new media landscape,” said Tony Perkins, founder of AlwaysOn. “As ever, we were inundated with nominations from leading companies, and it is heartening to know that tomorrow’s thought leaders and technology visionaries are already out there. My congratulations to each AO100 winner — these are the companies which we predict will have the greatest market traction, strongest innovation, and most game-changing approaches this year.”
