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 the Rakoczy Festival in Bad Kissingen, many visitors move between different festival areas, stages, food and beverage outlets, and entrances. When crowds are dense and music is playing, with visitor flows constantly changing, information must be clearly understood without reaching only individual areas. When entrances need to be temporarily relieved or visitor flows redirected, the operations team requires cross-area communication with clear announcements.
With 
, announcements, system monitoring, visitor information and device control come together on a single platform — fully independent of the public network. For events such as the Rakoczy Festival in Bad Kissingen, ![NIKOS [dispatcher]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS dispatcher.svg)
can address individual announcement locations, specific areas, or the entire event site from a single user interface. ![NIKOS [audio]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS audio.svg)
receives the voice transmission wirelessly on site and outputs it as an analog audio signal; ![NIKOS [horn]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS horn.svg)
supplements the acoustic output at locations without an existing public address system. This reduces additional operating procedures and temporary standalone setups, because visitor information, announcement triggering, and control are all managed centrally.
is standard-compliant: the system meets DIN EN 50849 for electroacoustic emergency warning systems. was developed specifically for safety-relevant announcements and alerting — usable both in everyday operation and in an emergency. For ELA systems, DIN EN 50849 forms the decisive reference framework. Unlike mobile network-based systems, fully meets these requirements because it operates independently of an external network and is therefore immediately ready for use at any time. Other safety-related standards such as DIN EN 54, DIN VDE 0833-4 and DIN 14675 (voice alarm systems) do not apply to , since they concern a different field of use and functional scope. As a public address system for temporary and mobile deployments, has already 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. can be used to implement different functions via a unified communication platform. The savings generated by this approach can quickly offset ’s rental and installation costs. You can find some specific examples of savings here. 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. Personnel travel, operator stations, and security posts can also be reduced because recurring tasks are controlled centrally and monitored or carried out by . In this way, rental and installation costs are offset by savings in personnel and other technology. operates via its own autonomous wireless network and is completely independent of public communication networks and their availability. This makes the system highly resistant to external influences. Because does not depend on cable routes but communicates wirelessly, the connection is automatically re-established after an interruption. therefore responds far more resiliently to disruptions of normal operations than many other systems and demonstrates the crisis resilience of this communication system. has an internal battery with up to 16 hours of operating time and also supplies connected accessory modules. Even if the mobile network is overloaded, the internet provider has been hacked, or someone has pulled the wrong plug, continues to operate. This ensures that visitor information for the Rakoczy Festival 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 touch 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.
