Chief participated in our recent Collaboration 2015: Educational Seminars and Demonstrations event in Winnipeg. I visited our amazing Chief rep and asked her what the box at her booth was all about (see photo below).
She told me it was the "CMS491- 1' x 2' Plenum Rated Storage Box that conceals AV equipment above a 1' X 2' ceiling tile to provide a clean professional look for classrooms and conference rooms."
