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.
ChallengeDuring Sail Amsterdam 2030, large crowds on the quays, ambient noise and international visitors will place high demands on visitor safety. Warnings and instructions must reach everyone concerned clearly and in good time, even when the area is crowded. High visitor density quickly overloads mobile networks, meaning that mobile communication cannot be relied upon in a crisis.
With 
, announcements, system monitoring, visitor information and device control come together on a single platform — fully independent of the public network. ![NIKOS [dispatcher]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS dispatcher.svg)
controls broadcast units for individual announcement locations, specific zones or the entire event site. This enables security personnel to be deployed more effectively and reduces the need for distributed control and reporting stations.
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. Assessment and acceptance by the competent authority are carried out on a project-specific basis. operates via its own autonomous radio network and is completely independent of public communication networks and their availability. Because communicates wirelessly, the connection restores itself after an interruption. ![NIKOS [audio]²](https://nikos.info/assets/logos/nikos/SVG/NIKOS audio.svg)
has an internal battery with a runtime of up to 16 hours and also powers connected accessory modules. This ensures that visitor safety for Sail Amsterdam 2030 continues to function reliably even in the event of a power failure or disruptions to public communication networks. was developed for flexible outdoor use without fixed infrastructure. One or two people can attach the modules to various structures, such as lampposts, stages, stands or trees, within a few minutes and configure them individually. For continuous operation, a standard Schuko power connection is sufficient. operates via an existing digital radio network. can combine various functions on a single communication platform. These savings can quickly offset the rental and installation costs of . 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. At temporary events, this significantly lowers the costs of planning, setting up and operating the safety technology. be rented? is rented by the day through certified partners, including advice, instruction and technical support.
