Italian term or phrase: bancone postazione 1/2/3
I'm translating a transcript of recorded telephone conversations between emergency response agencies ... these are conversations related to an accident and to the responses of the different aid agencies (carabinieri, 118 service, local police ...) to the incident.

The report is titled "Registrazioni Telefoniche [name of center] - Vari Enti

Next comes the phrase: "Bancone Postazione 1"

This is right above a table containing 3 columns -- Orario / Ente / Comunicazione -- giving the details and content of the transcribed conversations.

A few pages later there is another heading titled "Bancone Postazioni 2 e 3", followed by the same type of table.

The conversations under Bancone Postazione 1 take place separately from the conversations recorded under Bancone Postazioni 2 e 3 ... they start at the same time but are going on separately, with different entities. It looks like different dispatchers at the same center are talking with different emergency responders.

How would you translate "Bancone Postazione" here?

Thanks for your help!

Explanation:
Since it's a transcript of recorded telephone conversations, I'd suggest switchboard operator position (postazione d'operatore o posto operatore).

Asker: Hi again Claudia, and thank you again for your suggestion. I ended up using simply "Station" for my translation. It may not be exact, but I think it's general enough to cover the meaning.
