Industries
A shift change, a safety alert and a production update all have to reach the same floor at once, over the noise of the equipment running on it.
Hiscall designs, installs and supports phone systems, IP overhead paging, synchronized clocks, data networking, CCTV and access control for manufacturing facilities nationwide. One certified team installs it, and the same team answers when you call.

A manufacturing facility runs on real-time data exchange and operational coordination across a floor that's loud, spread out, and running equipment that doesn't pause for a phone call. Advanced technology supporting email, messaging and collaborative platforms only works if the hardware underneath it, wireless communication, paging, networking, is built for the same environment. Hiscall designs the whole path, from the shop floor to the front office, and supports all of it with the same certified technicians who installed it.
How it fits together
From the shop floor to the front office
A facility this size runs on coordination that has to survive noise, distance and shift changes. Built as one system, it does. Built from four separate vendors, coordination is the first thing to break down.
The floor
IP overhead paging and synchronized clocks keep shift changes, safety alerts and daily operations running on the same schedule across a large, loud facility.
The line
Data networking and point-to-point wireless connect equipment and teams across buildings, keeping production data moving in real time.
The meeting
Video conferencing, interactive displays/whiteboards and digital signage keep management, engineering and the floor working from the same information.
The perimeter
CCTV and access control secure the facility, all riding on the low voltage cabling underneath.
Why one team
What actually changes when one team owns the whole system
A facility that buys phones, cameras and networking from three vendors owns the gaps between them too, usually discovered mid-shift. Here is what that costs in practice.
| Where it counts | Hiscall | Separate vendors per system |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | One team, one schedule | Coordinated by you, across contractors |
| Support calls | A Hiscall employee who knows your facility | Whichever vendor you guess is responsible |
| System integration | Designed together from the start | Bolted together after the fact, if at all |
| Safety & shift coordination | One point of accountability | Finger-pointing between vendors |
| Everything else | Cabling, cameras, AV, IT, all included | Another vendor, another contract |
Built for the noise and scale of a facility, not adapted to it
Four capabilities that general low voltage contractors typically do not carry.
- IP overhead paging. Reaches a large, loud floor for shift changes and safety alerts, over the noise of running equipment.
- Synchronized clocks. Keeps every department, shift and building running on the exact same schedule.
- Point-to-point wireless. Connects equipment and teams across buildings without trenching new cable between them.
- Video conferencing & interactive displays. Keeps management, engineering and the floor working from the same information in real time.
What we install
Every system across the facility, from one team
Most facilities buy each system from a different vendor, then spend years getting them to talk to each other. We put them on one design and one support relationship.
Phone systems
VoIP and cloud-based phone systems with unified communications, sized to a single facility or a multi-site operation.
TelecommunicationsCabling and infrastructure
Copper and fiber optic low voltage infrastructure installed by BICSI-certified technicians, sized to a single building or a full campus.
Network CablingCameras & access control
CCTV security cameras and access control systems protecting the perimeter and entry points, under Tennessee CCTV license #1405.
Security SolutionsData networking & wireless
Data networking and point-to-point wireless connecting equipment and teams across buildings without new trenched cable.
IT Services & Data NetworkingVideo conferencing & digital signage
Video conferencing, interactive displays/whiteboards and digital signage/video walls keeping every team aligned.
Audio VisualOverhead paging & synchronized clocks
IP overhead paging and synchronized clocks keeping shift changes, safety alerts and daily operations on schedule.
Audio VisualFacilities we work with every week
From a single production line to a multi-building campus, with the same certified technicians on every job.
- Single-facility manufacturers. Phones, paging and CCTV scoped to a single floor, not sold as an enterprise package.
- Multi-site operations. Consistent systems and support across every facility, with one point of contact instead of a different vendor per site.
- Facilities with multiple buildings. Point-to-point wireless connecting production, warehousing and offices without new trenched cable.
- Facilities adding real-time coordination for the first time. Data networking and video conferencing built to bring management and the floor onto the same information.
How we work
Five steps, and you know who to call at each one
Survey
We come to you at no charge, look at what is already in place, and tell you honestly what should be replaced and what has life left in it.
Design
You get a documented scope and clear pricing. For a multi-site operation, we design one standard that repeats cleanly across every facility.
Install
Installation is scheduled around production, not around us.
Train
On-site sessions for management, IT and floor staff, repeated as often as your team needs it.
Support
You call us directly, not a queue, with 24/7/365 emergency response and unlimited moves, adds and changes.
Local technicians, coverage across the Midsouth and beyond
Two Tennessee offices put a certified Hiscall employee close by. Cloud-managed systems let us monitor, configure and resolve a great deal remotely, so a multi-site operation costs you far less time than it used to.
- Dickson. Corporate headquarters and 25,000 square foot distribution facility, serving Middle Tennessee and the Nashville region. Reach the Dickson office directly at (615) 740-7771.
- Knoxville. Branch office at 4620 Old Broadway, serving East Tennessee since 2001, with the same certified technicians and the same emergency response. Reach the Knoxville office directly at (865) 862-4650.
- You reach a person. You work directly with a trained, certified, Hiscall-badged employee. Your needs are not outsourced to a call center overseas.
- Beyond our two offices. We also have employees based in West Tennessee and Kentucky, and we support customers throughout the Midsouth region and several nationwide.

Other industries
The same team, built for eighteen industries
Keeping a large, loud facility coordinated in real time is not the only reason a system has to work as one path. Every industry below gets the same design and support approach.
