Background
The TEAM badge (EWB100) brings a new level of affordability and portability to mobile voice, providing basic Push-to-Talk (PTT) communications that enables enterprises to extend the benefits of on-the-spot voice to new workers and workgroups inside the four walls. This miniature device gives store associates, task workers and other employees the capability to instantly respond to customer or management requests, receive and confirm tasks and to reach out for assistance on the spot. With a voice connection clipped to their lapel, workers have instant access and are instantly accessible, eliminating wasted time and improving business efficiency.
The TEAM badge uses the Motorola TEAM Express voice client, providing one-to-many PTT over WLAN broadcast communications with private one-to-one callback. The TEAM badge easily integrates with your customer's existing 802.11b/g WLAN architecture — no servers or PBX integration required
(communications are limited to a single WLAN subnet). The intuitive 5-button user interface practically eliminates the need for user training, further simplifying deployment. In addition, the TEAM badge can interoperate with:
•
Other Motorola voice-enabled devices via the TEAM Express client, including Motorola mobile computers (purchase/download required)
•
TEAM VoWLAN devices (TEAM Express is included with EWP1000/2000 R1.5 or later)
•
Two-way radios via the TEAM Radio Link Solution (RLS)
This rich interoperability provides enterprises the freedom to select the right device with the right features and services for their different users — while still enabling push button voice communications between users on different networks.
The TEAM badge is purpose built to offer convenient and affordable push-to-talk (PTT) communications — providing the right form factor, acoustic performance and price point for the job. Weighing in at 1.6 oz. (45.37g) and just 2.5 in. x 1.5 in. (6.35 cm x 3.81 cm), the TEAM badge is unobtrusive and easy to carry in any environment. The compact and lightweight device can be clipped to a shirt, tucked in a pocket or worn on a neck or wrist lanyard. The TEAM badge also features Motorola's superior voice technology, with high-quality specifications for loudness, echo/noise suppression and more. Durable construction ensures the TEAM badge stands up to everyday use including the ability to withstand dust, liquid spills, wipe downs and inevitable drops.
The 590mAh battery provides ample power for a full 10-hour shift.
With the cost-effective TEAM badge, you can help your customers extend their existing mobility solution to new workers and workgroups, enabling real-time collaboration between more workers. As with other mobile communications solutions, your customers can expect multiple benefits and an outstanding return on investment (ROI), including:
•
Improved service and sales: Sales associates can reach backroom staff to check inventory, check pricing, bring an item to the sales floor for a customer and more, eliminating the need to leave the customer’s side — and the opportunity for lost sales.
•
Improved staff utilization: Supervisors can reach task workers — for example, to reassign retail associates to other departments to address periods of heavy customer traffic — improving the efficiency of task management and enabling the same number of task workers to complete more tasks per day.
EWB100 Partner Brief Page 3 of 20
•
Improved customer and employee safety: The ability to reach maintenance staff in seconds allows supervisors to dynamically re-prioritize tasks throughout the day, ensuring for instance, prompt attention to a recent spill that could impact employee and customer safety.
•
Increased Return on Investment (ROI) for existing technology investments: The ability to leverage your existing wireless LAN and Motorola mobile devices increases the utilization and lifecycle of your existing mobility investments, improving both ROI and Total Cost of Ownership
(TCO).

Motorola’s new devices delivering real-time communications access to all associates – the TEAM badge (EWB100) and CLP
Motorola’s CLP two-way radio and TEAM badge bring new levels of portability and affordability to mobile voice, enabling organizations to extend the benefits of wireless communications throughout the enterprise

The EWB100 and CLP devices provide similar capabilities to our customers, but allow them to choose the right device for their environment and application. There are some clear cut decision points such as whether or not the customer has voice capable WLAN coverage – if not, the appropriate device is the
CLP; or does the customer wish to enable interoperability with mobile computers (without deploying RLS)
– if so, the EWB100 is the appropriate device. The majority of the scenarios may not be quite as apparent initially, but as you review the customer environment and needs, the right device or combination of devices will be clear. The following table highlights key differentiators. There is also a feature/spec comparison table in the FAQ section of this document.:

Value proposition and selling points
Value proposition
The TEAM badge delivers a number of strategic business benefits that help improve worker productivity, reduce costs and elevate the general business image:
•
Improves workforce productivity and manageability: Keeps workers and supervisors connected and instantly accessible with the ability to receive, place and respond to PTT broadcast calls, as well as privately respond to a caller. Workers are able to address issues, answer questions, receive tasks and confirm task completion right on the spot, without having to search for a wired phone, supervisor or co-worker. Managers can instantly communicate tasks to employees — for example, to clean a spill in an aisle, fix a leaky faucet or pick items for a customer order — no matter where they may be in the facility (within the WLAN coverage area and a single subnet). In addition, task management is improved — dynamic task delegation allows supervisors to now monitor, delegate, and prioritize and reprioritize tasks as needed — all in real time.
•
Improves customer service and satisfaction: In retail, hospitality and other customer-centric environments, the TEAM badge delivers the accessibility and rapid response times needed to provide a higher level of customer service. When a customer needs assistance, employees can contact the appropriate person with the press of a button — whether they need a price or inventory check, a product expert to answer a question or a supervisor to help resolve a customer complaint. And integration with a customer kiosk or call box instantly alerts employees when a customer needs support for prompt service.
•
Protects and extends the value of existing technology investments: The TEAM badge can be easily integrated with your customers’ existing wireless LAN, and is interoperable with a wide range of other Motorola devices including voice-enabled mobile computers (equipped with TEAM Express)
TEAM VoWLAN smartphones and two-way radios (with TEAM RLS) — improving the return on
EWB100 Partner Brief Page 6 of 20
investment for your customer's existing technology infrastructure, as well as expanding the value of the TEAM badge devices.
•
Reduces operational expenditures: The TEAM badge requires minimal provisioning and management.
•
Future-proofing: As part of the overall TEAM portfolio, the EWB100’s voice client (TEAM Express) will interoperate with other TEAM solution devices/solutions as they become available. (Note that capabilities will still be limited to the TEAM Express 1.0 capabilities for those devices using the TEAM
Express 1.0 client).
•
Improve branding with customization option: Customers have the option to customize the TEAM badge with a company logo and color, promoting brand recognition as well as enabling customers who need assistance to more easily identify employees.
• Reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) and provides outstanding investment protection: While the TEAM badge is built for business, accidents happen — and when they do, your customers want to know that the support they need to keep their devices up and running at peak performance is right at their fingertips, ensuring business continuity. The TEAM badge is eligible for Service from the Start
Advance Exchange Support, which provides next-business-day replacement of devices requiring repair. This service also includes Comprehensive Coverage, a unique offer that:
− Covers internal and external components damaged through accidental breakage
− Significantly reduces unexpected repair expenses

Key differentiators
The Motorola EWB100 offers a number of strategic and technical product differentiators including:
•
Small, compact and lightweight: Weighing just 1.6 oz./45.37g, the TEAM badge is lighter than any other solution available. The miniature device can be easily worn on a shirt or lapel, tucked inside a pocket, or comfortably worn on a lanyard. Because the form factor is comfortable and unobtrusive enough to wear throughout a full shift, employees are accessible at all times, and the devices are less likely to become lost or damaged.
•
Low cost: With a list price of $249 per unit, the EWB100 makes voice communications possible for every worker.
•
Voice interoperability across a variety of Motorola EMb devices: TEAM badges can interoperate with existing TEAM VoWLAN smartphones and a range of Motorola mobile computers and two-way radios (with TEAM RLS), providing value-added functionality that leverages existing investments. As a result, workers with different devices can reach each other easily and instantly, over the same voice network.
•
Easy to deploy: TEAM badges easily and seamlessly plug into your customer's existing network — no server or software is needed. As a result, your customer's sole cost is the hardware.
•
Motorola-class acoustic performance: The EWB100 excels when it comes to voice quality. With voice-optimized specifications for loudness, frequency response, distortion and echo/noise suppression technologies, the TEAM badge is easy to hear, even in noisy environments. And, it features a top-facing speaker that directs sound toward the user for peak acoustics.
•
Enterprise durability: The TEAM badge offers the convenience of a miniature, lightweight form factor with industry leading durable construction to endure the rigors of use in a wide variety of enterprise environments.
– 5 ft./1.5 m drop specification
– IP54 sealing, providing protection against dust and spills of temperatures — from 14° F to 104° F/-10° C to 40° C
• Investment protection: Enterprise Mobility Services are one of the top differentiators of Motorola products. Customers rely on Motorola to keep their businesses running. Now they can also rely on the most complete services that Motorola has ever offered. Motorola recommends Service from the
Start Advance Exchange Support for the EWB100. This service speeds response time through nextbusiness-day replacement of devices requiring repair. It also includes Comprehensive Coverage, which covers internal and external components damaged through accidental breakage.
