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.
ChallengeVisitor guidance at IGA Ruhrgebiet 2027 in Dortmund presents a particular challenge due to changing visitor flows and different areas where people gather. Visitors must receive information about routes, entrances and congested areas promptly and unambiguously. During periods of high demand, the mobile network may become overloaded, meaning that mobile-based communication channels are not sufficient for safety-critical instructions.
Instead of multiple separate solutions: 
unites visitor information, system monitoring, visitor guidance and control in a single network-independent platform. ![NIKOS [dispatcher]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS dispatcher.svg)
controls the announcement units for individual announcement locations, specific areas or the entire site. This makes it possible to direct visitor flows precisely without having to provide separate control units, cable routes and operator stations for every area. This reduces installation and staffing requirements.
meets the requirements of DIN EN 50849 for electroacoustic emergency warning systems. The system was developed specifically for safety-relevant announcements and alerting and is technically designed for both everyday operation and emergency situations. DIN EN 50849 represents the relevant reference framework for ELA systems. Unlike mobile network-based systems, does not depend on any external network and is therefore immediately ready for use at all times — fully meeting the standard as a result. Other standards known from safety technology, such as DIN EN 54, DIN VDE 0833-4 and DIN 14675 (voice alarm systems), do not apply to , as they are not applicable to radio-based public address systems like . is a public address system for temporary and mobile applications and has 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. is designed for flexible outdoor applications 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 relevant area of use. A Schuko power connection is sufficient for continuous operation. 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. As does not rely on cable routes but communicates via radio, the connection is automatically re-established after an interruption. therefore responds much more resiliently to disruptions of normal operations than many other systems, demonstrating the crisis resilience of this communication system. ![NIKOS [audio]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS audio.svg)
has an internal battery with up to 16 hours of runtime and also powers connected accessory modules. Even if the mobile network is overloaded, the internet provider has been hacked or someone has pulled out the wrong plug, continues to operate. This ensures that visitor guidance for IGA Ruhrgebiet 2027 remains reliably functional even in the event of a power failure or disruptions to public communication networks. centrally switches off all connected public address systems at the press of a button. This facilitates approval by the authorities and helps prevent complaints from local residents. is rented by the day through certified partners, including advice, instruction and technical support.
