NIKOS – Parkfest

Power outage monitoring for IGA Ruhrgebiet 2027

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

Detect critical outages immediately

At IGA Ruhrgebiet 2027 in Essen, monitoring power outages presents a particular challenge. If the power supply or safety-critical communication and control technology fails in individual event areas, those responsible must determine the status without delay. At the same time, disruptions to public communication networks must not impair on-site coordination.

Solution

One unified solution for everyday use and emergencies

One platform for everything: NIKOS unites visitor information, alerting, crowd management and control in a single, network-independent system. NIKOS [dispatcher]² combines announcements, alerts, status monitoring and control tasks on a central user interface. Those responsible retain an overview of connected components and centrally control relevant functions.

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 the wide range of NIKOS functions and support you in implementing the requirements cost-effectively.
Is NIKOS crisis-proof?+
Yes. NIKOS operates independently of public communication networks and their availability. The system communicates via an autonomous radio network. Following an interruption, the radio connection is automatically re-established. NIKOS [audio]² has an internal battery with up to 16 hours of operating time and also powers connected accessory modules. Power outage monitoring for IGA Ruhrgebiet 2027 remains operational in the event of a power failure or disruptions to public communication networks.
Can NIKOS be deployed quickly and flexibly for IGA Ruhrgebiet 2027?+
Yes. For IGA Ruhrgebiet 2027, NIKOS can be deployed flexibly without fixed infrastructure. One or two people can mount the modules on lampposts, stages, stands or trees within just a few minutes and configure them for the respective area of application. For continuous operation, a standard Schuko power connection is sufficient.
Can NIKOS centrally switch external devices?+
Yes. NIKOS [relay]² can be used to switch external devices via the central control interface. This integrates control tasks into the communication platform without the need for separate control units.
