What we were asked to deliver.
Taraghar is the State Guest House of the Government of Meghalaya in Shillong — a working protocol residence that hosts state guests, official delegations and government functions. TechnoGuru delivered a coordinated multi-discipline scope spanning conference-hall and auditorium AV, a fine-pitch LED video wall, a professional 4K display network, enterprise Wi-Fi, IP telephony, addressable fire-alarm life-safety, zoned background-music public-address with microphone announcement / paging, IP CCTV and a structured-cabling IT backbone — engineered onto one coordinated low-voltage layer and handed over against a documented commissioning pack in 2025. Public copy is limited to scope-level delivery context; quantities, equipment models, coverage detail and network configuration remain off the website.
Multiple disciplines were engineered onto one coordinated structured-cabling backbone with a shared head-end environment. The addressable fire-alarm system gates a documented set of life-safety outputs, signed off against the commissioning brief before handover. The LED video wall and display network are addressable from a single AV-control source so protocol events can be choreographed across the building's display surfaces in one cue. Public copy is scope-level; quantities, equipment models, coverage detail and network topology are withheld.

- ↳Coordinating multiple low-voltage, AV and IT disciplines onto a single backbone inside an active protocol residence, while keeping public copy at scope level and holding quantities, equipment models, coverage detail and configuration off public surfaces.
- ↳Sizing the conference-hall AV for both protocol-event use (head-of-state addresses, multi-language briefings) and cultural-event use (live performance) without specifying two parallel rigs — a single recallable preset library serves both modes.
- ·A single accountable contractor across the AV, IT, life-safety and low-voltage scope for the facility-management team — one relationship instead of many separate vendor relationships.
- ·Conference-hall AV operable by the in-house events team for routine functions without an external sound engineer, from a recallable preset library.
- ·Documented hand-over pack delivered — as-builts, test records, life-safety cause-and-effect and operator manuals in plain language; private records remain off public surfaces.
What the floor told us when work started.
Sensitive environments need scope-level public copy.
The public page names the authentic project and describes the broad multi-discipline scope, while quantities, equipment models, coverage detail and network configuration stay in the private project file.
What the engagement had to work around.
- PUBLIC DISCLOSURE
- Constraint —The project can be named publicly, but implementation detail cannot expose operational or security posture.
- Design response —Public copy is limited to AV, IT, life-safety and low-voltage scope-level context; counts, equipment models, coverage detail and network topology are withheld.
What this engagement taught us, on the record.
- 01
Prestigious public-sector references can remain visible without publishing sensitive implementation detail.
The public project page preserves the authentic name and high-level multi-discipline scope while keeping private records, quantities and operational detail out of public surfaces.
