FGB ham radio relocated to the Columbus module?

I'm not sure if this is related to voice or not but I saw this Tweet today:

RF2Space: The former FGB ham radio system has been relocated into the Columbus module on the ISS.

Anyone have any idea what an "FGB ham radio system" is and what this means for people who want to contact the ISS crew?
