NIKOS – Jahrmarkt

Visitor information for Stoppelmarkt in Vechta

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

Messages reach visitors despite noise and network congestion

At Stoppelmarkt in Vechta, rides and fairground operators create a loud, constant background noise. Important messages must reach visitors clearly despite the noise, crowds and constantly changing locations. When visitor numbers are high, mobile networks become overloaded, meaning that mobile-based information channels are not sufficient for safety-critical messages.

Solution

One unified solution for everyday use and emergencies

NIKOS combines announcements, alerting, visitor information and control in a single, network-independent platform. NIKOS [audio]² interrupts the fairground operators’ sound systems for the duration of an announcement and uses them to broadcast information messages. This eliminates the need for separate announcement speakers. It reduces the material, installation and operating effort involved.

FAQ

Information for planners and organisers

Are announcements made via NIKOS standard-compliant?+
Yes — NIKOS fully meets DIN EN 50849 (electroacoustic emergency warning systems). The system was designed specifically for safety-relevant announcement and alerting tasks, technically built for everyday operation as well as for emergencies. For ELA systems, DIN EN 50849 sets out the relevant framework. Because NIKOS — unlike mobile network-based solutions — does not depend on any external network, it is always immediately usable and fully meets the requirements set out in the standard. Other safety-related standards such as DIN EN 54, DIN VDE 0833-4 or DIN 14675 (voice alarm systems) concern a different field of use and functional scope and are therefore not relevant for NIKOS in terms of approval. Since 2017, NIKOS has been used successfully many times a public address system for temporary and mobile applications in mission-critical communication tasks. 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.
Where does NIKOS deliver cost benefits?+
NIKOS combines visitor information, employee alerting and system control on a single communications platform. NIKOS mainly reduces the effort required for separate loudspeaker, control and communication solutions. Material requirements and cabling work are reduced, and information and emergency announcements can be made from a single location. Central announcements, remote control and status monitoring also replace distributed stewarding, reporting and operating posts. This either reduces staffing requirements or allows personnel to be deployed at safety-critical points. The savings in personnel and additional technology offset rental and installation costs. For temporary, time-limited events, the costs of planning, installing and operating the safety technology are reduced.
How can visitors be guided in a targeted manner at Stoppelmarkt?+
NIKOS [dispatcher]² triggers information announcements centrally and transmits them to the required areas. This enables organizers to provide visitors with information on entrances, visitor areas and rules of conduct without relying on distributed one-to-one communication.
Can NIKOS be deployed quickly and flexibly?+
Yes, NIKOS was specifically developed for flexible outdoor deployments without permanent infrastructure. One or two people can mount the modules within just a few minutes on lampposts, stages, stands or trees and configure them individually. A standard Schuko power connection is sufficient for continuous operation. NIKOS uses the existing digital radio network.
