NIKOS – Baustelle

Emergency warning system rental for construction sites

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

Trigger warnings even during network outages

Construction sites rented for temporary use face particular challenges when it comes to warnings due to machinery noise, changing work areas and dispersed workers. Employees are often outside the site management’s line of sight, meaning warnings do not reach everyone affected at the same time. Warnings must still be triggered in the event of a power failure or disruptions to public communication networks. Constantly changing construction phases make reliable alerting even more difficult.

Solution

One unified solution for everyday use and emergencies

Instead of multiple separate solutions: NIKOS unites visitor information, system monitoring, visitor guidance and control in a single network-independent platform. Wireless installation reduces the effort required for cable routing and the installation of separate warning equipment on construction sites. This lowers material and installation costs, while NIKOS [relay]² can switch external devices.

FAQ

Information for planners and organisers

Does NIKOS adhere to the applicable standards for announcements?+
Yes. The basis is DIN EN 50849 for electroacoustic emergency warning systems, whose requirements NIKOS fully meets. Developed specifically for safety-relevant announcement and alerting applications, NIKOS is technically designed for everyday use as well as for emergency situations. For ELA systems, DIN EN 50849 forms the relevant framework. Because NIKOS — unlike mobile network-based systems — does not depend on an external network, immediate usability is guaranteed at all times, meaning the standard is fully met. Other safety-related standards such as DIN EN 54, DIN VDE 0833-4 and DIN 14675 (voice alarm systems) concern a different field of use and functional scope and are not relevant for the approval of NIKOS. Since its market launch in 2017, NIKOS has been the leading public address system for temporary and mobile applications, used successfully at some of the largest open-air events in Europe. RADACOM and your regional NIKOS partner will be happy to advise you on NIKOS’s wide range of functions and support you in implementing the requirements cost-effectively.
Can NIKOS be deployed quickly and flexibly on rented construction sites?+
Yes, NIKOS was specifically developed for flexible outdoor deployments without fixed infrastructure. The modules can be mounted on suitable structures at construction sites by one or two people within just a few minutes and configured individually. A standard Schuko power connection is sufficient for continuous operation.
Do emergency warning systems for rented construction sites remain operational during a power or network outage?+
Yes, NIKOS operates via its own autonomous wireless network and independently of public communication networks and their availability. This makes the system resilient to external influences. Since NIKOS does not rely on cable routes but communicates wirelessly, the connection is automatically re-established after an interruption. NIKOS is therefore more resilient to disruptions during normal operation than many other systems, demonstrating the crisis resilience of the communication system. NIKOS [audio]² has an internal battery with up to 16 hours of runtime and also powers connected accessory modules. Even if the mobile network is overloaded, the internet provider has been hacked or someone has pulled the wrong plug, NIKOS continues to operate. This means that emergency warning systems for rented construction sites remain reliably operational even in the event of a power failure or disruptions to public communication networks.
How can announcements be sent to individual areas on rented construction sites?+
NIKOS [dispatcher]² controls the announcement units for individual announcement locations, specific areas or the entire site. This allows warnings to be transmitted to the areas affected, according to the particular hazard situation.
Where can emergency warning systems for rented construction sites be rented?+
NIKOS is rented by the day through certified partners, including consultation, instruction and technical support. The appropriate rental configuration for emergency warning systems on rented construction sites is coordinated as part of the process. Find a partner and request a rental
