Abstract

A wireless communication system has a central computer, one or more wireless access points (34) and one or more personal badges (32) that communicate wirelessly with the one or more access points. The badges provide the user with a communication device that permits the user to initiate telephone calls and conferences, receive telephone calls, receive pages and be located within a particular environment.
