NIKOS – Stadtfest

Emergency announcements for Thüringentag 2027 in Nordhausen

autonomous reliable cost-effective

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.

Challenge

Clear warnings despite noise and crowds

At Thüringentag 2027 in Nordhausen, emergency announcements must reach many visitors in a loud and confusing event environment. Stages, music and dense crowds make it more difficult to communicate warnings and instructions clearly. At the same time, the mobile network may become overloaded when visitor numbers are high, meaning that mobile-network-based warning channels may not be reliably available in a crisis.

Solution

One unified solution for everyday use and emergencies

With NIKOS, announcements, system monitoring, visitor information and device control come together on a single platform — fully independent of the public network. NIKOS provides centralized emergency announcements, alerts and information messages via NIKOS [dispatcher]². The system remains operational even in the event of a power failure or disruptions to public communication networks. Separate loudspeaker, control and communication solutions are no longer required. This reduces material requirements, cabling effort, and the need for operator and reporting posts.

FAQ

Information for planners and organisers

Does NIKOS meet the applicable standards for announcements?+
Yes, NIKOS is standard-compliant: the system meets DIN EN 50849 for electroacoustic emergency warning systems. NIKOS was developed specifically for safety-relevant announcements and alerting — usable both in everyday operation and in an emergency. For ELA systems, DIN EN 50849 forms the decisive reference framework. Unlike mobile network-based systems, NIKOS fully meets these requirements because it operates independently of an external network and is therefore immediately ready for use at any time. Other safety-related standards such as DIN EN 54, DIN VDE 0833-4 and DIN 14675 (voice alarm systems) do not apply to NIKOS, since they concern a different field of use and functional scope. As a public address system for temporary and mobile deployments, NIKOS has already been used successfully many times for mission-critical communication tasks since 2017. RADACOM and your regional NIKOS partner will be happy to advise you on the wide range of NIKOS functions and support you in implementing the requirements cost-effectively.
Where does using NIKOS deliver cost benefits?+
For emergency announcements and safety-critical coordination tasks, NIKOS combines employee alerting, visitor information and system control in a single communication platform. NIKOS 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. Centralized announcements, remote control and status monitoring replace security, reporting and operator posts distributed across the site. Personnel can take on tasks at safety-critical points. At fenced events, NIKOS technically monitors emergency exit gates, eliminating the need for security posts at these gates. Savings on personnel and additional equipment offset rental and installation costs. At temporary events, the costs of planning, setup and operation of the safety technology are reduced.
Can NIKOS be deployed at short notice and flexibly?+
Yes. NIKOS was developed for flexible outdoor deployments without fixed infrastructure. One or two people can mount the modules within just a few minutes on lampposts, stages, stands or trees and configure them for the specific deployment. A Schuko power connection supplies NIKOS during continuous operation. NIKOS integrates existing infrastructure via a digital radio network.
How can emergency announcements be controlled selectively?+
NIKOS [dispatcher]² controls announcements, alerts and information messages. Those responsible can select individual announcement locations, defined areas or the entire site and monitor the system status from a single location.
