Hi jcn333,
The in store radio communication system used by Gap and Old Navy is
the Plantronics CS10 Cordless Telephone Headset System.
From an article by nyse magazine: The Retail Front
http://www.nyse.com/events/1047947359732.html
"Headsets are helping retailers improve customer service, allowing
personnel to answer questions or obtain information while performing
other tasks, according to Plantronics Inc. (PLT). "Cordless,
hands-free solutions are in demand since retail sales people need to
be able to walk around the store and handle merchandise," notes Ken
Kannappan, Plantronics president and CEO. A leader in using cordless
headsets is Gap Inc. (GPS), which has integrated them into the
communication systems at its Gap and Old Navy stores, Plantronics
reports. This allows employees to communicate with each other
throughout the store, particularly when retrieving items for customers
or restocking displays."
