Zebra WS101/WS101-H: Compact Bluetooth Communication Badges for Professional Use
The Zebra WS101/WS101-H is an ultra-lightweight, rugged, and wearable communication device purpose-built for retail and healthcare environments. With simple Bluetooth connectivity to Zebra Android devices or compatible smartphones and tablets, voice communication becomes efficient and entirely hands-free — perfect for workers who need to collaborate quickly and without interruption.
Maximum voice clarity — even in noisy settings
Thanks to advanced audio technologies like active noise cancellation and finely tuned acoustics, the WS101/WS101-H ensures crystal-clear voice transmission. An integrated microphone and high-quality speaker enable reliable communication — even in fast-paced environments.
Voice-driven control for enhanced efficiency
With built-in voice activation (wake word), users can operate the badge by speech — adjusting volume, answering calls, or controlling voice-enabled apps. This minimizes screen interaction and boosts productivity.
Flexible, hygienic, and durable
The WS101-H is specifically designed for healthcare, with no USB or audio ports to enable full disinfection. Both models feature antimicrobial housing, are IP65-rated for dust and water resistance, and withstand drops and rough handling.
Easy to wear and locate
Worn via clip or lanyard, the badge weighs under 45 grams and is unobtrusive. Lost devices can be easily found using Zebra’s Device Guardian.
Smart power solution
A swappable battery delivers up to 10 hours of talk time. Multi-slot chargers make it easy to keep devices powered during shift changes — ideal for continuous operation.
Seamless system integration
NFC allows quick pairing with Zebra devices. The badge fully supports Zebra’s Workcloud Sync solution for Push-to-Talk and can be managed through existing Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) systems.
