IP network audio
Digital audio distributed over the building's network rather than dedicated speaker cabling alone.
Public address and voice alarm systems in Pakistan
Resco designs and installs fully digital public address and voice alarm (PAVA) systems in Pakistan, for general announcements and emergency broadcast over IP network audio.
Overview
One system for daily announcements and emergency broadcast
A public address and voice alarm system serves two purposes: everyday announcements and, when needed, emergency broadcast during an evacuation. Resco designs fully digital PA systems over IP network audio, so the same infrastructure covers both without needing separate equipment.
Because the system is networked, it can be zoned by floor, wing or building, so an emergency message can be targeted to the areas that need it while normal announcements continue to run elsewhere, and it can be triggered directly by the building's fire alarm panel when an evacuation is required.
- Fully digital PA over IP network audio
- General announcements and emergency voice alarm on one system
- Zoned broadcast by floor, wing or building
- Triggered automatically by the fire alarm panel during an evacuation
Components
What a Resco PA and voice alarm system includes
Scope depends on the building and whether the system needs to cover general PA, voice alarm, or both.
Zoned speaker layout
Speakers and zones laid out so announcements and evacuation messages can be targeted to specific areas.
Voice alarm messaging
Pre-recorded and live evacuation messaging triggered automatically by a confirmed fire alarm signal.
General paging and announcements
Day-to-day paging and background audio on the same digital infrastructure as the voice alarm function.
Integration with fire alarm
Direct triggering from the fire alarm panel so voice evacuation messages play without manual intervention.
Design and commissioning
Speaker layout, zoning and network design produced and commissioned as part of the project.
Integration
Voice alarm as part of a coordinated evacuation response
Resco integrates the PA and voice alarm system with the building's other fire and life safety systems.
- Triggered automatically by a confirmed alarm from the fire alarm panel
- Zoned messaging so evacuation instructions reach the right areas first
- Coordinated with emergency lighting and evacuation notification
- Runs on the same IP network infrastructure Resco can design for the building
- General PA function available for day-to-day use outside emergencies

How Resco delivers
How a PA and voice alarm project is delivered
Resco follows a consistent delivery approach across its fire and life safety and communication systems work.
Assessment
A review of the building's layout, existing audio infrastructure and fire alarm system.
Design and engineering
Speaker layout, zoning and network design engineered for general PA and voice alarm use.
Installation and commissioning
Installation managed with quality checks at each stage, followed by commissioning of all zones.
Integration and support
Integration with the fire alarm panel, plus training and optional ongoing maintenance.
A public address system carries general announcements, while a voice alarm system carries emergency evacuation messages, usually triggered by the fire alarm panel. Resco designs a single digital system that covers both functions.
Yes. Resco designs PA and voice alarm systems with zoned speaker layouts, so general announcements or emergency messages can be targeted to a floor, wing or building rather than broadcast everywhere.
Resco integrates the voice alarm system with the fire alarm panel so evacuation messaging can play automatically once an alarm is confirmed, without needing manual activation.
Cost depends on the number of zones and speakers, the building's size, and how much integration with an existing fire alarm system is needed. Resco provides a proposal after a site assessment.
Yes. With regional offices in Lahore and Islamabad in addition to its Karachi head office, Resco delivers PA and voice alarm projects for clients across Pakistan.
