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 CHIO Aachen, evacuation announcements must reach many spectators simultaneously, even when crowds are dense and background noise makes them difficult to understand. In an emergency, it is crucial that instructions are delivered to the affected areas without delay and understood clearly.
brings together announcements, alerting, visitor guidance and device control in a single network-independent platform. ![NIKOS [audio]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS audio.svg)
receives voice transmissions on site via radio and outputs them as an analogue audio signal, integrating existing public address systems into the evacuation announcement. This eliminates the need for additional, separate announcement systems at connected locations while also reducing material requirements, cabling effort, staff travel between locations, as well as the number of announcement points and control tasks, because recurring tasks can be managed centrally and taken over by .
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. This makes the system highly resistant to external influences. Since does not rely on wired connections but communicates via radio, the connection is automatically re-established after an interruption. therefore responds far more resiliently to disruptions in regular operations than many other systems, demonstrating the crisis resilience of this communication system. has an internal battery providing up to 16 hours of operating time 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, continues to operate. This ensures that evacuation announcements for the CHIO Aachen remain reliably functional even in the event of a power failure or disruptions to public communication networks. was specifically developed for flexible outdoor applications without fixed infrastructure. One or two people can mount the modules on a variety of 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. An existing digital radio network can also be used, provided it meets the relevant technical specifications.![NIKOS [horn]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS horn.svg)
provides acoustic output at locations without an existing public address system. This makes it possible to set up additional announcement points wherever visitors need to be guided or informed, without installing a dedicated loudspeaker infrastructure. Control is provided via ![NIKOS [dispatcher]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS dispatcher.svg)
