The annual federal government push to implement their end of fiscal year budgets is now over. It’s that time of year that has all of us engaged in providing federal agencies with design solutions and proposals to be executed by the end of September. Among the planned purchases we received this year is a large Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) acquisition of 70 Americon Communicator consoles for FEMA’s emergency manager training center in Maryland. These consoles replace existing tables that did not prove up to the task. The project involved combining two rooms into one large space for training as well as an adjacent conference room.

Each modular console is equipped with our unique monitor flip that recesses the monitor in the well and closes down to a flat desktop when the monitor is not in use. The Communicator consoles are configured into 11-person groups with a leader position at the head of the group. There are larger supervisor training consoles at the front of the room with large screen video displays on three walls.

I enjoyed working with the FEMA project manager who outlined their vision for the room and specified the Communicator console features that were important to making their training center truly state-of-the art. It will take about six weeks to complete the project and I look forward to presenting photos as soon as I receive them.
