Enabling Immersive Experiences at the First Hindu Temple in the UAE

The first Hindu temple and cultural complex of its kind in the Middle East, the BAPS Hindu Mandir aims to offer guests modern experiences while honoring tradition.

With plans for elaborate multimedia displays across the temple complex, including exhibition halls, a prayer hall, a tranquil garden, and staff offices, the organization required a high-performing network to accommodate its needs. 

With Extreme Fabric Connect and Universal 5000 Series switches, the temple can easily support advanced applications and services throughout the new complex. These include seamless visitor management applications, security cameras and other IoT devices, staff devices and the temple’s robust A/V system.

It was also important to be able to scale the network as necessary to support temporary needs, like outdoor events or services, while giving the IT team the ability to segment network traffic to prevent lateral movement and minimize the impact of a potential cyberattack. 

Challenges

• Advanced applications and services throughout the new complex including security cameras and IoT devices.
• Thousands of visitors to the temple needing secure access to the network.
• Robust A/V system requirements for multi-media driven immersive experiences.
• Temporary scalability needs for outdoor events, delegation visits etc. 

Results

• Extreme’s Fabric solutions make it easy to scale the network as necessary to support temporary needs like outdoor events or services 
• Microsegmented network allows IT team to prevent lateral movement and minimize the impact of a potential cyberattack.
• The temple can easily support services including seamless visitor management applications, security cameras and other IoT devices, staff devices and the temple’s robust A/V system.
