Abstract
An earpiece includes an earpiece housing, a processor disposed within the ear piece housing, a speaker operatively connected to the processor, at least one microphone operatively connected to the processor, and a cellular transceiver disposed within the earpiece housing and operatively connected to the processor. The cellular transceiver may be a low energy long term evolution (LTE) cellular transceiver. The ear piece may include an inertial sensor disposed within the earpiece housing and operatively connected to the processor. The earpiece may further include a short range transceiver disposed within the earpiece housing. The short range transceiver may be a Bluetooth transceiver. The earpiece may also include a slot within the earpiece housing for receiving an identity module.
