asterisk users - Jul 2010 - Vocera Comm Badges

Hi,

has someone ever got their hands on the Comm Badges from Vocera (
http://www.vocera.com/ ) and knows if they use anything standard and could work
with asterisk, or does someone know an alternative to their really small, light
devices?

Regards,

Andreas

I've seen them at trade shows, I think I remember it being proprietary.

 

What about using Dect handsets?

AGI is a protocol used to interact with Asterisk. An AGI is a separate 
process created by Asterisk when you execute "agi()" in the dialplan.

Thanks Steve
Option one and two looks more ideal. Let stick on option one, the program
is written in C++ (Actually is a corba interface). I have tried looking on
how to write AGI script using C++ in vain. I am used to perl/php for
scripting.. Can you post a snippet of c++ agi script.
