A pager (also known as a beeper) is a wireless telecommunications device that receives and displays numeric messages and/or receives and announces voice messages. One-way pagers can only receive messages, while response pagers and two-way pagers can also acknowledge, reply to, and originate messages using an internal transmitter. Pagers operate as part of a paging system which includes one or more fixed transmitters (or in the case of response pagers and two-way pagers, one or more base stations), as well as a number of pagers carried by mobile users. These systems can range from a restaurant system with a single low-power transmitter, to a nationwide system with thousands of high-power base stations.
One of the first practical paging services was launched in 1950 for physicians in the New York City area. Physicians paid $12 per month for the service and carried a 6oz (200 g) pager that would receive phone messages within 25mi (40 km) of a single transmitter tower. The system was manufactured by the Reevesound Company and operated by Telanswerphone. In 1960, John Francis Mitchell combined elements of Motorola's walkie-talkie and automobile radio technologies to create the first transistorized pager, and from that time, paging technology continued to advance, and pager adoption continued to expand, until the early 1990s. However, by the mid-1990s, as cellular technologies became cheaper and more widely available, advanced services began to displace paging as a commercial product. Today, pagers exist largely as niche products, finding preferential use in applications such as hospitals, public safety, and retail locations where their simplicity, high reliability, and low cost represent significant advantages.
A pager is a graphical user interface feature provided by some desktop environments, mostly on the Unix and Linux platforms. It takes the form of an onscreen window or a gadget in the taskbar or panel displaying the user's virtual desktop and providing a way to switch among desktop areas or navigate the workspace. Most pagers depict thumbnail outlines of windows assigned to each desktop and can switch or move windows from mouse gestures or scroll wheel. Some pagers provide a means to move windows or transfer them between desktops by dragging the outline representation in the pager.
Pager is a private company headquartered in New York City and founded in 2014. Pager develops, markets, and operates a mobile-app-based that allows users to request board-certified doctors to a specified location. By reducing the overhead costs seen in traditional healthcare settings, the company lowers the cost of quality care for their users by a significant amount and charges a flat-fee for services.
The company's network of doctors have emergency care specialities and are equipped to handle most urgent care needs. Pager is part of a growing trend of technological advancements in the healthcare field and is in the process of working to accept insurance. It is currently an out-of-network provider. The company seeks to help decompress emergency rooms and keep patients out of the hospital unless absolutely necessary.
History
The company was founded in 2014 by Gaspard de Dreuzy, Philip Eytan, and Oscar Salazar. Prior to Pager, de Dreuzy started several gaming companies and the online broker Kapitall, Eytan became a founding investor in tech startups (like Livestream) after a career on Wall Street, and Salazar was part of the founding team of Uber before joining TPG-owned Ride. The company's Chief Medical Officer, Richard Boxer, also formerly held the title at Teladoc, one of the largest telemedicine companies.
How do pagers (beepers) work? Yes, there was wearable wireless communication long before cellphones and smartphones. And you know what? It was awesome!
Your cellphone gets in the way of your daily life when everyone can just call you and you have to stop what you're doing to talk to them. With pagers, people would page you and then patiently wait for you to return their call. If you didn't call back after a half hour or so, they would assume you didn't get the page and call you again. Very simple, and civilized. Unlike today when people expect to reach you instantly, at their convenience and not yours.
So, since pagers are slowly being phased out as more and more paging transmitters are being taken off the air to cut costs as the customer base dwindles, I thought it would be a goo...
