NIKOS – Tag der Bundeswehr

Event security for Bundeswehr Day in Saarbrücken

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

Reach visitors even during power and network outages

At Bundeswehr Day in Saarbrücken, event security is a particular challenge due to the high number of visitors, the extensive grounds and changing locations. Safety-critical information must reach emergency personnel and visitors across widely separated event areas. Power outages and disruptions to public communication networks further impede the rapid dissemination of warnings and instructions.

Solution

One unified solution for everyday use and emergencies

Announcements, system monitoring, crowd management and device control come together with NIKOS in a single platform independent of the public network. NIKOS [dispatcher]² enables the central control of announcements, alerts and connected devices via NIKOS [relay]². This reduces cabling requirements as well as the need for separate control units and distributed operating stations. Personnel can be deployed at safety-critical points, while information and switching operations are centrally controlled, monitored and executed by NIKOS.

FAQ

Information for planners and organisers

Do NIKOS announcements meet the relevant standard requirements?+
Yes, NIKOS fully meets DIN EN 50849 "Electroacoustic Emergency Warning Systems". The system was specifically designed for safety-relevant announcements and alerting and is technically built for both everyday and emergency use. DIN EN 50849 is the relevant standard for radio-based ELA systems such as NIKOS. Because NIKOS, unlike mobile network-based systems, operates independently of an external network, immediate usability is guaranteed at all times — fully meeting the standard's requirements as a result. Other safety-related standards such as DIN EN 54, DIN VDE 0833-4 and DIN 14675 (voice alarm systems), by contrast, do not apply to NIKOS, as they concern a different field of use and functional scope and are therefore not relevant to NIKOS's deployment. As the only public address system for temporary and mobile applications consistently designed around the demands of mission-critical use, NIKOS has been used successfully for crisis-proof 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.
How can extensive event areas be coordinated centrally?+
NIKOS combines announcements, alerts, information messages, remote control and status monitoring on a single platform. Information and control commands are triggered centrally via NIKOS [dispatcher]². This makes it possible to coordinate individual announcement locations, specific areas or the entire site from a single location.
Can NIKOS be deployed quickly and flexibly?+
Yes, NIKOS was developed for flexible outdoor use without fixed infrastructure. Within just a few minutes, one or two people can mount the modules on lampposts, stages, stands or trees and configure them individually. A Schuko power connection supplies NIKOS for continuous operation. NIKOS uses its own digital radio network.
Is NIKOS resilient in a crisis?+
Yes, NIKOS operates via its own autonomous radio network and independently of public communication networks. As NIKOS communicates wirelessly without cable routes, the connection is automatically re-established after an interruption. NIKOS [audio]² has an internal battery with a runtime of up to 16 hours and uses it to power connected accessory modules. NIKOS continues to function in the event of an overloaded mobile network, loss of internet access or an interruption to the power supply. This keeps event security for Bundeswehr Day operational even in the event of a power outage or disruptions to public communication networks.
