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 Freßgassfest in Frankfurt, many visitors move through an open street space with stalls, walkways and adjacent everyday traffic. In the event of a terror warning, alerts and instructions must reach visitors quickly, clearly and in a location-specific manner. Public mobile networks can quickly become overloaded when visitor density is high, while noise, music and crowds further impair the intelligibility of safety-critical announcements.
With 
, announcements, system monitoring, visitor information and device control come together on a single platform — fully independent of the public network. At Freßgassfest, reduces the need for separate loudspeaker, control and communication solutions. Announcements, alerting, remote control and status monitoring are bundled in one rental system and operated centrally. This reduces the need for equipment and cabling, as well as staff travel and operating effort, because recurring tasks are controlled centrally and monitored or carried out by .
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 . Because , 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 , as they concern a different field of use and functional scope and are therefore not relevant to 's deployment. As the only public address system for temporary and mobile applications consistently designed around the demands of mission-critical use, has been used successfully for crisis-proof 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 self-contained radio network and independently of public communication networks. ![NIKOS [audio]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS audio.svg)
has an internal battery with a runtime of up to 16 hours and also powers connected accessory modules. Even when radio cells are overloaded or the power supply fails, terror warnings at Freßgassfest remain reliably operational. receives the voice transmission on site via radio and outputs it as an analogue audio signal through connected public address systems. Any music system in operation is interrupted for the duration of an announcement; ![NIKOS [flash]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS flash.svg)
also signals bandleaders or DJs with a flashing light to stop the music immediately. ![NIKOS [horn]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS horn.svg)
