Wireless Paging System for
Hindu Community & Cultural Center

Community Center Paging System

THE CHALLENGE

Shiva-Vishnu Temple, a Hindu Community & Cultural Center in Livermore, California, required a reliable and scalable community center paging system to improve security and strengthen public safety across its 150,000 SF multi-building campus. As a public-serving facility, the paging system needed to deliver instant audio/visual communication for both daily operations and emergency situations. The key requirements for the community center paging system included:

  • Reliable live and pre-recorded, multi-lingual voice paging to all zones
  • Audio-Visual alert devices for ADA compliance and enhanced visibility
  • Weatherproof outdoor speakers for parking lots and entrance area
  • Full power backup to all system components due to unstable power grid.
  • Scalable, modular architecture for future expansion without re-wiring

THE SOLUTION

Community Center Paging System

Visiplex’s wireless paging system was deployed at the Shiva-Vishnu Temple with a centralized paging base station located at the main entrance security desk. The system included a network of indoor wireless audio-visual PA speakers and high-powered outdoor horn speakers, strategically installed throughout the 150,000-square-foot, multi-building facility to provide complete voice coverage and reliable emergency communication.

All components were equipped with built-in battery backup to maintain full operation during power outages, ensuring uninterrupted emergency notification capabilities.

In critical situations, the community center paging system supports live voice paging with real-time instructions or automatically broadcasts pre-recorded emergency messages tailored to specific scenarios such as intruder alerts, active shooter events, or lockdown procedures. For day-to-day use, it enables routine overhead announcements, staff coordination, and visitor communication.

To guarantee performance, the installation concluded with system testing, commissioning, and on-site staff training—ensuring reliable, seamless operation for both emergency response and daily facility management.

THE RESULTS

The newly installed community center paging system delivered the following benefits:

  • Instant, clear voice alerts to all facility areas for both emergency and routine announcements
  • A network of high-powered outdoor PA speakers providing full facility-wide audio coverage

  • Simplified installation and maintenance, handled entirely by on-site electricians

  • Multi-color beacon lights for high-visibility alerts and ADA compliance
  • Modular, expandable system design allowing quick addition or relocation of components without new wiring
