NIKOS – Stadtfest

Visitor Information for the Bürgerfest in Regensburg

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 notices despite dense crowds

At the Bürgerfest in Regensburg, providing visitor information is particularly challenging due to crowded conditions, a noisy environment and visitors who speak different languages. Important notices must reach visitors simultaneously and clearly in different areas of the event. When visitor density is high, mobile networks may become overloaded, meaning that mobile communications-based information channels may not be reliably available.

Solution

One unified solution for everyday use and emergencies

NIKOS brings together announcements, alerting, visitor guidance and device control in a single network-independent platform. Information announcements can be triggered centrally via NIKOS [dispatcher]² and distributed to the required areas. This eliminates the need for separate loudspeaker, control and communications solutions for visitor information, reducing the material, installation and support effort.

FAQ

Information for planners and organisers

Do NIKOS announcements meet the relevant standard requirements?+
Yes, NIKOS 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 NIKOS. Because NIKOS, 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 NIKOS, as they concern a different field of use and functional scope and are therefore not relevant to NIKOS's deployment. As the only public address system for temporary and mobile applications consistently designed around the demands of mission-critical use, NIKOS has been used successfully for crisis-proof 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.
Can NIKOS be deployed quickly and flexibly?+
Yes, NIKOS was specifically developed for flexible outdoor deployments without fixed infrastructure. The modules can be mounted on various structures, such as lampposts, stages, stands or trees, and individually configured by one or two people within just a few minutes. A standard Schuko power outlet is sufficient for continuous operation. NIKOS uses a digital radio network.
How does NIKOS support compliance with quiet hours?+
The quiet-hours function in NIKOS [dispatcher]² centrally switches off all connected public address systems at the touch of a button. This facilitates approval by the authorities and helps prevent complaints from local residents.
How does NIKOS support visitor guidance at the Bürgerfest in Regensburg?+
Central information announcements can be used to inform visitors about entrances, areas and behavioural guidance. This facilitates coordination when visitor numbers are high and reduces the need for individually deployed information staff.
