Product Categories for Control Rooms and Command Centers

I use all of these terms because they have fundamentally the same meaning and are the terms that owners, designers and manufacturers bring to the conversation.

Control Room and Command Center Characteristics
The Control Rooms and Command Centers pages illustrate a few of the many projects that we have completed during our 30-plus years in the business. Although control rooms and command centers have similar characteristics, I have prepared separate pages for each category because command centers are often larger in scale and include a wider range of activities than the singular monitoring activities common with most conventional control rooms. The separate
Emergency Operations Center page is actually a subset of the command centers page, however given the continuing interest in modernizing emergency management at all governmental levels, I thought it best to focus on our products and services specifically designed for that purpose.
