911 DISPATCHER CONSOLES SHOWCASED

During APCO Baltimore 2019, we showcased our Mercury Pro dispatch console in a variety of its customizable forms.

The Mercury Pro features a high capacity slat-wall monitor array that can support any configuration for all different monitor sizes and positions for better view of status screens. The monitors each retain complete adjustability, allowing dispatchers to adjust them as a group (focal depth adjustment, height adjustment) or independently.

The Mercury Pro features

It is our main priority that our Consoles are designed thoughtfully and intentionally. With height, temperature, lighting and controls easily accessible on the edge band, the Mercury feature sets are truly wheelchair and ADA accessible. Finished with sleek wood and built-in plant holders, Mercury sets are just as beautiful as they are durable, all while encouraging a healthy environment.

The APCO and other dispatcher events are an ideal time for dispatch centers to upgrade their equipment. There has never been a better time to add the most ergonomics and productivity-focused consoles on the market.
