NIKOS – Festumzug

Mobile announcement system for Düsseldorfer Karneval

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

Dense crowds require fast warning and guidance

Düsseldorfer Karneval combines moving float columns, dense crowds and many independently operated mobile sound systems on the floats. Safety announcements must be clearly received along the route, even when mobile cells are overloaded or the power supply fails at individual points. With such a large number of visitors, mobile-based systems often do not work reliably, making alternative, fail-safe communication channels essential for organizers and security personnel.

Solution

One unified solution for everyday use and emergencies

For events such as Düsseldorfer Karneval, NIKOS combines announcements, alerting and information messages in one platform. NIKOS [dispatcher]² controls the announcement units as required for individual announcement locations, targeted areas or the entire site. Add-on modules such as NIKOS [flash]² for optical signaling and NIKOS [relay]² for switching external devices extend the platform without separate control technology. For recurring safety and coordination tasks, this eliminates the need for separate loudspeaker, control and communication solutions. This reduces material, installation and operating costs for temporary event safety.

FAQ

Information for planners and organisers

Do announcements with NIKOS comply with the applicable standards?+
Yes. NIKOS meets the requirements of DIN EN 50849.
How are announcements perceived during loud music at Düsseldorfer Karneval?+
During loud music, NIKOS [flash]² triggers an optical signal directly at the position of the conductor or bandleader. In response to the light signal, bands or music groups interrupt their performance so that safety-relevant announcements are clearly received. This is especially important when music groups, floats and the audience generate high noise levels at the same time.
How can visitors along the parade route be informed and guided?+
When visitors stream onto the parade route, when it becomes too crowded at certain points, when emergency services need to cross the route, or when delays and changes occur, NIKOS [audio]² delivers information and instructions in a targeted way via the mobile sound systems of the individual floats and via NIKOS [horn]² along the route. This allows the flow of visitors to be influenced exactly where it is needed.
How is NIKOS installed for a temporary carnival parade?+
NIKOS is suitable for flexible outdoor deployments without fixed infrastructure. The modules can be mounted and individually configured by one or two people within a few minutes at different mounting points. NIKOS [clamp]² is used for fast mounting of the modules on suitable structures.
