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.
ChallengeOktoberfest in Munich brings together very high visitor density, operations inside the beer tents and the loud sound systems used by the showmen. In an emergency, warnings and instructions must reach guests clearly and intelligibly despite noise, crowds and ongoing activities. At the same time, many tents and showmen’s businesses are independently organized, making coordinated alerting and rapid communication in an emergency particularly challenging. When visitor density is high, the mobile network also becomes overloaded quickly and is not reliable enough for safety-critical communication.
With 
, announcements, system monitoring, visitor information and device control come together on a single platform — fully independent of the public network. For events such as Oktoberfest in Munich, consolidates safety-critical communication on a single platform. ![NIKOS [audio]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS audio.svg)
can interrupt the showmen’s sound systems for the duration of an announcement. This reduces the ambient noise level and significantly improves the intelligibility of announcements; existing sound systems can be used for announcements, eliminating the need to set up a separate public address system.

meets the requirements of DIN EN 50849 for electroacoustic emergency warning systems. The system was developed specifically for safety-relevant announcements and alerting and is technically designed for both everyday operation and emergency situations. DIN EN 50849 represents the relevant reference framework for ELA systems. Unlike mobile network-based systems, does not depend on any external network and is therefore immediately ready for use at all times — fully meeting the standard as a result. Other standards known from safety technology, such as DIN EN 54, DIN VDE 0833-4 and DIN 14675 (voice alarm systems), do not apply to , as they are not applicable to radio-based public address systems like . is a public address system for temporary and mobile applications and has 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. can combine various functions on a single communication platform. These savings can quickly offset the rental and installation costs of . You can find some specific examples of potential savings here. 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. Recurring tasks are controlled centrally and carried out by , reducing staff travel, operating positions and security posts. operates via its own autonomous radio network and is completely independent of public communication networks and their availability. Because does not rely on cable connections but communicates via radio, the connection is automatically restored after an interruption. has an internal battery with up to 16 hours of operating time and also powers connected accessory modules. This means that emergency communication systems for Oktoberfest remain reliably operational even in the event of a power failure or disruptions to public communication networks. was developed specifically for flexible outdoor deployments without fixed infrastructure. One or two people can mount the modules on various 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.
