BAPS Mandirs Deliver Wireless Connectivity for Their Video Surveillance Network

BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha® (BAPS) is a worldwide spiritual and humanitarian organization dedicated to community service, peace, and harmony. Its 3,300 international centers which support these character building initiatives, each receive thousands of visitors per week.

Members of BAPS come to the Mandirs to pray and attend daily character-building rituals and attend weekly activities. Visitors come to view the beautiful architecture and learn about Hinduism while enjoying the onsite Vegetarian Cafes and Snack Shops. With so many visitors on a daily basis, a state of the art video surveillance system was essential to ensure the safety of the visitors, the Mandirs and surrounding parking areas.

BAPS witnessed Siklu’s technology for the first time at the ISC West show, where a live Siklu network was in operation. Siklu’s mmWave wireless radios were powering multiple 4K network cameras from Axis Communications around the convention and streaming the video flawlessly despite massive WiFi interference. BAPS was impressed by the very nature of mmWave wireless, which virtually eliminates interference concerns inherent in all 5GHz products. Siklu’s Point-to-Multipoint solution was chosen to provide that same performance as their network fiber extension.
