Company tackles USB-C® connectivity with introduction of Keystone Snap-In Charging Ports and Dual Combination USB Chargers for Perfect Power Options

Woodland Park, NJ (March 26, 2021) —FSR has expanded its line of charging solutions for iPhone®, iPad® or any smart device, with the introduction of power management options for USB-C® connectivity. The Company’s latest Keystone Snap-In charging port is the perfect power option for FSR’s Symphony series as well as the company’s table and floor boxes, wall plates, and Raceway system. The newly launched Dual Combination USB chargers provide a choice exclusively for the Symphony range of table boxes and its pedestal charging tower.

FSR’s Keystone Snap-In charging port is an effortless option that allows an end-user to add USB-C® charging to their workspace at an extremely budget-pleasing price. The Keystone Snap-In incorporates power management integrated circuitry that determines power requirements connected devices. The built-in electronics provides ultra-fast charging using the power available up to 3 amps / 15 watts; a valuable feature since USB-C® speeds up the performance of accessories - such as external hard drives and video gear - with data transfer rates that can accelerate up to 20 times faster. The compact snap-in unit, capable of being remotely powered from 160 feet or more, provides an easily installable solution to accommodate already existing applications.

In addition to the Keystone snap-in charging port, FSR is also introducing a Dual Charger Combination USB Port exclusively for its Symphony collection of table boxes and pedestals. Like the Keystone ports, these chargers incorporate power management integrated circuitry to communicate using todays' protocols to determine the requirements for connected devices. The built-in electronics direct the available power to a single port, or it can divide the power to provide the fastest charging based on the available power.

“The world is shifting from USB-A to USB-C® with USB-C® ports now found on all manner of devices,” explains Jan Sandri, President, FSR. “As USB-C® emerges as the standard for charging and transferring data, our new charging ports support for this technology. Since many preinstalled devices already contain snap-ins, it’s a logical move to offer an upgrade that supports USB-C® charging affordably. At FSR it’s our mission to deliver products that simplify everyday working practices with clever innovative designs that meet the budgets of our customers. These new additions to our charging portfolio do all this and more.”

The addition of these two options give users the flexibility to power and charge when and wherever required. Both the Keystone Snap-In Charger Ports and the Dual Charger Combination USB Charger Ports are shipping now.

The Buy American Act was first passed by Congress in 1933 under President Herbert Hoover. The Buy American Act applies when the federal government is directly assisting the procurement of products or a federal facility is being constructed.

Since then there have been several Buy America Acts. The latest “Buy America Act” was just signed by Executive Order to support manufacturers, businesses, and workers to ensure that our future is made in America by American workers. The “Buy American Act” is focused on boosting federal purchases of US-Made Goods as part of the president’s campaign pledge to invest in our country’s manufacturing industry.
 
FSR’s Made in the USA products comply with this new Executive Order, and I am proud to say we will continue to manufacture in the USA!

FSR’s Bill Fitzsimmons will be Remembered for his Legacy of Innovation, Success and Compassion

Woodland Park, NJ – November 2, 2020 – It is with extreme sadness that FSR has announced the passing of its co-founder and Chairman, Bill Fitzsimmons. Bill passed away peacefully on October 25th at his home in Boca Raton, Florida after a year-long battle with cancer with his business partner, dearest friend and companion Jan Sandri at his side. Bill was 91 years young.

“Bill was a gentleman to the core,” said Sandri. “He lived life to the fullest, enjoying the challenges of running a successful business and contributing to an exciting and invigorating industry. But he especially loved being surrounded by family, either those he was related to, or his FSR family.  Our hearts break with our loss as we mourn the passing of a great leader, friend, colleague, inspiration and quite simply a kind human being.” Honoring Mr. Bill Fitzsimmons

Bill received a BS degree from Boston College, an MBA from Babson College, and an MS in Physics from Tufts University. His early career included positions in the Budd Company and the ITT Defense Group, Avionics division, working on both TACAN and LORAN navigation systems. He subsequently moved on to Sales Engineering where he successfully worked on many large government contracts.

In his spare time and as a hobby, he designed and built the first control system for the New Jersey Lottery for a friend who owned Charles Maltby Exhibits, and then designed and built the first dissolve systems for Charles Rodriguez at AV Services.

Bill joined Charles Rodriguez as a partner in AV Services in the early 1970s to pioneer AV Integration solutions, working closely with the Wilke Organization and developing pivotal products for use in large AV projects throughout New York and New Jersey.

“Bill reasoned that if AV Services needed these products, other companies did also,” Sandri explained. “So on February 1, 1981 FSR (Fitzsimmons, Sandri, Rodriguez) was launched with Bill as the product designer/builder, Charlie as the financial person, and me as the sales component. Our very first customer, other than AV Services, was Ancha Electronics.”

Bill’s ingenuity continued as he worked on products with Jeff Loether, founder and president of ELECTRO-MEDIA DESIGN, Ltd., then with Marriott, creating the first Ballroom Combining Systems in the industry.  He also created large video switching equipment for IBM Classrooms at their training facilities.  When it came to electronics, he loved a challenge and his products have lasted for decades.

Sandri added, “Active until the end, Bill loved attending the Infocomm Shows, which he did every year, talking to friends, old and new. InfoComm attendees will surely remember him as an iconic figure zipping through the show halls on his FSR Scooter.”

Bill turned over the reins of FSR to Jan Sandri 10 years ago, moving into the position of Chairman.

For the past four years Bill enjoyed a wonderful life in Boca Raton, Florida where he worked on his many hobbies, and served as the Vice President of Kindness Shared Happiness Squared, a Charity that helps children and animals in need.  

Bill was predeceased by his wife, Paula, and his daughter Carol.  Survivors include his son William and his wife Peggy; his son Paul and his wife Mary; two sisters, Carol Fitzsimmons and Paula Fitzsimmons; and his best friend, Jan Sandri.

The New Jersey-based company will be donating to two local food banks to help those feeling the pinch of hardship during this time of elevated need, and according to FSR President, Jan Sandri, they will continue the tradition annually going forward.

“Celebrating our Independence Day will be different this year for every American and so it’s an appropriate time to launch a new FSR tradition,” said Sandri.  “I contacted our two local Food Pantries run by St. Agnes Church and the United Method Church that cover Little Falls, Woodland Park and Totowa, NJ, and asked what we could do to help. We were happy to comply with a donation to each organization and will continue this new tradition as our way of honoring the spirit of the 4th of July, a day that signifies coming together not only as a community but as a country.”

Sandri emphasized that we should appreciate what we do have, not dwell on what will be missing this year. “Let’s enjoy our family and friends in small gatherings while we celebrate our freedom, military, essential workers and being kind.

WHERE: DeKalb County School GA – Hawthorne Elementary

WHEN: February 2020

WHAT: Smart-Way Raceway System

WHO: Joshua Albertson from Nisewonger AV

Challenge

Hawthorne Elementary School recently renovated the Media Center. With new furniture, power and data were required at each collaboration table. The tables are used by both students and faculty and are essential for working in groups.HawthorneElem

The collaboration stations are now widely used in education; and maintaining a safe and ADA compliant space is also re- quired. The challenge was avoiding trip hazards in the media center. Nisewonger AV looked at many options for getting power and AV to the collaboration tables. The solution needed to be safe, cost-effective, and meet both power and AV requirements for the space. The FSR Smart-Way was the perfect selection and overcame all the challenges. 

Solution

Smart-Way was chosen for its very low profile and ability to carry data and power. Nisewonger’s install team appreciated the Smart-Way design, as well as the ease of installation. Nisewonger AV demonstrated the Smart-Way system by laying out the raceway for the Hawthorne Elementary principal. She was delighted at the system's low profile. And, at time of install, the Nisewonger team completed the installation in a few short hours.

Principal Lisa Limoncelli states, “The Smart-Way has been a game changer for our students and teachers. Hawthorne had a plan for use when we installed the tables with access to power and USB ports. Unfortunately, we did not have a way to execute that plan. We had several ideas but nothing that was a good fit. Fortunately, Nisewonger kept looking for a solution for us and found out about Smart-Way. Having an easy and low- profile way to bring power to the tables has enabled us to use them the way we had intended.”

Results

Nisewonger AV used 25’ of the Smart-Way Raceway with a 90-degree corner, bringing power and data to three tables with a total of four electrical outlets. The Smart-Way system provides the ability to have power for charging devices. This accessibility makes the collaboration space efficient for both setup and the collaboration session. There is no need to search for an outlet - AV and data connections are also avail- able through the Smart-Way system.

Principal Lisa Limoncelli stated, “Our main goal for installing Smart-Way was to have power in the tables we installed in our media center. The power would allow students to plug in their Chromebooks, tablets, etc. and work on projects together or independently. The power provided by the Smart-Way system also allowed teachers to conduct small group lessons with the ability to stream in video, use video conferencing and provide demonstrations on a large screen monitor that was connected to the tables. An added bonus we found was an additional meeting space with the ability to use the large screen monitor and go over documents and data with teachers, parents, therapists, etc. Overall, the Smart-Way system has enhanced our instruction and accessibility to in- formation by making the use of technology seamless.”

Looking Forward

Principal Lisa Limoncelli says, “The Smart-Way system has allowed teachers to pull small groups of students for individualized instruction and still have access to the same technology that their peers are using in the classroom. The Smart-Way system enables our students to work with technology collaboratively by sharing research, coding solutions, web-based learning, and interactive videos, without the inconvenience of being confined to the classroom charging cart.”

After the install was complete Principal Limoncelli was able to confidently recommended the system to other schools and even invited them to come and see it in action. Limoncelli adds, “Thank you Smart-Way System for unlocking barriers to technology and enhancing instructional practices for our students.”

 “We are so excited to partner with Configura and make the CET Designer Extension tool available to designers and specifiers,” exclaimed Lourdes Collins, Furniture + Design Director for FSR. “The platform

allows users to see their ideas materialize quickly, eliminating guess work and bringing design efficiency to a whole new level. Some of the biggest manufacturers in the industry are Configura partners, and we are proud to be in their company.”

CET Designer helps manufacturers and their dealers and designers bring products to market quickly by providing a single software solution for the entire space-planning process. The solution lets users create drawings in 2D and 3D, produce photorealistic renderings and fly-thru videos of the designed space, and generate accurate bills of materials and detailed installation documents.

CET Designer is Parametric Graphical Configuration (PGC)-based software residing on the Configura Extension Technology (CET) platform; an Extension is an addition to the program with functionality that incorporates all of the rules, parts and pricing of a manufacturer’s products. Manufacturers invest in proprietary CET Designer Extensions to make selling products easier, faster and more accurate.

Users of CET Designer simply “drag and drop” manufacturers’ product symbols into the highly visual 2D and 3D layouts while the software handles the technical product details behind the scenes, automatically calculating parts and prices. This functionality lets the user focus on design, and even collaborate with customers in real-time to plan spaces and order products.

“From the very start, Mark knew the industry’s future would involve integrating electronic systems,” says NSCA Executive Director Chuck Wilson. “His ideas and experiences shaped many of the processes that NSCA still follows today.”

In 1988, Dundas founded Tech Works after spending nights and weekends engineering technology solutions when customer requests called for specialized systems. He still actively runs this manufacturing company, which specializes in simplified audio and healthcare solutions for hospitals, clinics, and detention facilities.

She serves on the board of Kindness Shared Happiness Squared, a charity that helps children in need, as well.
