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 IGA Ruhrgebiet 2027 in Essen, an emergency communication system faces particular challenges due to the extensive event areas, changing visitor flows and varying noise levels. Warnings and instructions must reach visitors clearly and simultaneously in all areas. Public communication networks are not suitable as the sole transmission channel for safety-critical information when visitor numbers are high.
Announcements, system monitoring, crowd management and device control come together with 
in a single platform independent of the public network. For IGA Ruhrgebiet 2027, centralised operation via ![NIKOS [dispatcher]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS dispatcher.svg)
reduces the need for separate control stations and different control devices. By consolidating announcements, alerts, information messages, remote control and status monitoring, reduces the material, installation and operating costs of temporary safety communication.
is standard-compliant: the system meets DIN EN 50849 for electroacoustic emergency warning systems. 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, 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 , since they concern a different field of use and functional scope. As a public address system for temporary and mobile deployments, has already been used successfully many times for mission-critical 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. operates via its own autonomous radio network and is completely independent of public communication networks and their availability. Since does not rely on cables but communicates via radio, the connection is automatically re-established after an interruption. ![NIKOS [audio]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS audio.svg)
has an internal battery with up to 16 hours of operating time and also powers connected accessory modules. This means that the emergency communication system for IGA Ruhrgebiet 2027 remains reliably operational even in the event of a power failure or disruptions to public communication networks. was specifically developed for flexible outdoor applications without fixed infrastructure. The modules can be mounted by one or two people within a few minutes on a range of structures, such as lampposts, stages, stands or trees, and configured individually. A standard Schuko power outlet is sufficient for continuous operation. If required, can use an existing digital mobile radio network (DMR)., those responsible can direct announcements specifically to individual announcement locations, selected areas or the entire site. This enables to provide centralised, consistent information and instructions for event organisers. is rented by the day through certified partners, including advice, instruction and technical support.
