SAN JOSE, Calif.
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Vocera
Communications, Inc. (NYSE:VCRA), the leading healthcare
communications company, today announced it has earned additional
interoperability and security certification by the Department of Defense
(DoD) for its latest software release and wearable communication badge.
The Vocera Communication System met stringent criteria of the DoD
Unified Capabilities (UC) Approved Products List (APL), which allows DoD
facilities to purchase and operate UC systems over DoD network
infrastructures. This certification is essential to the expansion and deployment
of Vocera solutions in U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) facilities
around the world.
The UC APL was established to maintain a single consolidated list of
products that have completed information assurance certification and
interoperability testing approved by distributed testing centers,
including the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) in Fort Meade,
Maryland. This round of JITC certification testing adds the Vocera
B3000n badge, which utilizes both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz Wi-Fi spectrum
and provides even better voice recognition. Latest speech engine updates
and functionality enhancements in the Vocera software platform also met
compatibility and security protocols for JITC certification as did the
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Telephony Gateway added to the Vocera
platform.
“Our extensive list of security certifications provides valuable
assurance to the DoD and our other healthcare customers that the Vocera
Communication System meets extensive interoperability requirements
needed to deliver efficient care and protect sensitive patient
information,” said Arun Mirchandani, senior vice president of
products at Vocera. “We are proud to deliver secure and reliable
communication solutions to the DoD and care teams in the U.S. and across
the globe.”
As part of the DoD UC APL certification process, products must pass
interoperability and functionality testing to ensure compliance and
compatibility with other vendors. The testing also verifies that the
platform and product comply with Security Technical Implementation
Guidelines (STIG).
