NIKOS – Landesfest

Visitor Information for the 2028 Sachsen-Anhalt Day in Aschersleben

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

Important information reaches the audience despite noise and crowds

At the 2028 Sachsen-Anhalt Day in Aschersleben, providing visitor information is a particular challenge due to crowds, a noisy environment and visitors who speak different languages. Important information about schedules, designated areas or safety situations must be clearly understandable to all visitors. In a confusing situation, large crowds and the noise level make it more difficult to communicate information quickly and consistently.

Solution

One unified solution for everyday use and emergencies

Announcements, system monitoring, crowd management and device control come together with NIKOS in a single platform independent of the public network. NIKOS [dispatcher]² controls announcements for individual announcement locations, specific areas or the entire event site. This ensures that information announcements reach the intended visitor areas without separate control devices or additional operator stations. This reduces installation effort as well as the personnel required to manage visitor information.

FAQ

Information for planners and organisers

Is NIKOS designed to meet the relevant standards for announcements?+
Yes, indeed: NIKOS 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, NIKOS 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 NIKOS, as they are not applicable to radio-based public address systems like NIKOS. NIKOS 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 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 over 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. Since NIKOS does not rely on cables but communicates via radio, the connection is automatically re-established after an interruption. NIKOS is therefore significantly more resilient to disruptions in normal operations than many other systems, demonstrating the crisis readiness of this communication system. NIKOS [audio]² has an internal battery with up to 16 hours of operating time and also powers connected accessory modules. Even if the mobile network is overloaded, the internet provider has been hacked or someone has unplugged the wrong cable, NIKOS continues to operate. This ensures that visitor information for the 2028 Sachsen-Anhalt Day remains reliably functional even in the event of a power failure or disruptions to public communication networks.
Can NIKOS be deployed quickly and flexibly?+
Yes. NIKOS was specifically developed for flexible outdoor deployments without fixed infrastructure. One or two people can mount the modules on various structures, such as lampposts, stages, stands or trees, within just a few minutes and configure them individually. A standard Schuko power connection is sufficient for continuous operation.
How does NIKOS help ensure quiet hours at night?+
The quiet-hours function in NIKOS [dispatcher]² centrally switches off all connected public-address systems at the touch of a button. This makes it easier to obtain official approval and helps prevent complaints from local residents.
