NIKOS is not a conventional PA system, but a radio-based public address, alarm and control system for large events, construction sites and crisis situations, which you can rent by the day through certified partners and either integrate into your PA or use on its own.
ChallengeAt the Wehlheider Fair in Kassel, rides, fairground operators and dense crowds create continuously high noise levels. In a crisis, warnings and instructions must reach visitors quickly, clearly and intelligibly. At the same time, the mobile network is heavily congested when visitor numbers are high, meaning that mobile-based information channels are not reliable enough for safety-critical communication.
brings together announcements, alerting, visitor guidance and device control in a single network-independent platform. For events such as the Wehlheider Fair in Kassel, combines announcements, alerting, information messages, remote control and status monitoring in a single platform. The fairground operators’ sound systems are interrupted by ![NIKOS [audio]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS audio.svg)
for the duration of an announcement, significantly reducing the interfering noise level at the respective location. Safety announcements can also be broadcast via the existing sound systems; ![NIKOS [horn]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS horn.svg)
supplements the acoustic output at locations without their own sound system. This reduces the need for additional loudspeaker systems, lengthy cable runs and additional operating personnel.
fully meets DIN EN 50849 "Electroacoustic Emergency Warning Systems". The system was specifically designed for safety-relevant announcements and alerting and is technically built for both everyday and emergency use. DIN EN 50849 is the relevant standard for radio-based ELA systems such as . Because , unlike mobile network-based systems, operates independently of an external network, immediate usability is guaranteed at all times — fully meeting the standard's requirements as a result. Other safety-related standards such as DIN EN 54, DIN VDE 0833-4 and DIN 14675 (voice alarm systems), by contrast, do not apply to , as they concern a different field of use and functional scope and are therefore not relevant to 's deployment. As the only public address system for temporary and mobile applications consistently designed around the demands of mission-critical use, has been used successfully for crisis-proof communication tasks since 2017. RADACOM and your regional partner will be happy to advise you on the wide range of functions and support you in implementing the requirements cost-effectively. can be used to implement a range of functions via a single, unified communications platform. The rental and installation costs of can quickly be offset by these savings. You can find some specific examples of potential savings here. When its wide range of functions is used consistently, often not only increases the level of safety and makes employees’ work easier, but also delivers savings in the overall budget. mainly reduces the effort required for separate loudspeaker, control and communication solutions. Material requirements and cabling work are reduced, and information and emergency announcements can be made from a single location. can also specifically replace personnel: tasks that would otherwise require several security, reporting or operating posts distributed across the site can be handled from a single location through central announcements, remote control and status monitoring. This can reduce staffing requirements or allow personnel to be deployed more effectively at safety-critical points. The greatest savings potential arises at fenced events: monitoring emergency exit gates technically with can replace security guards stationed at those exits or enable them to be deployed more effectively elsewhere. This offsets rental and installation costs through savings in personnel and other technology. Particularly for temporary, time-limited events, this significantly reduces the costs of planning, installing and operating safety technology. operates over its own autonomous radio network and is completely independent of public communications networks and their availability. This makes the system highly resistant to external influences. Because does not rely on cables but communicates via radio, the connection is automatically re-established after an interruption. is therefore far more resilient to disruptions in normal operations than many other systems, demonstrating the crisis readiness of this communications system. has an internal battery with up to 16 hours of operating time and also supplies connected accessory modules. Even if the mobile network is overloaded, the internet provider has been hacked or someone has unplugged the wrong cable, continues to operate. This ensures that crisis communication remains reliably functional even in the event of a power failure or disruptions to public communications networks. was specifically developed for flexible outdoor use without fixed infrastructure. One or two people can mount the modules on different structures such as lampposts, stages, stands or trees within just a few minutes and configure them individually. A standard Schuko power connection is sufficient for continuous operation. is rented by the day through certified partners, including advice, instruction and technical support.
