Voice Alarm for Hessentag 2027 in Idstein

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

Clear warnings despite high noise levels

At Hessentag 2027 in Idstein, voice alarm presents a particular challenge due to crowds, a noisy environment and visitors who speak different languages. In an emergency, warnings and instructions must remain clearly understandable to everyone present despite the high visitor density and persistent background noise. Under these conditions, the mobile network may become overloaded, meaning that mobile-based warnings do not provide a reliable basis in a crisis.

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. NIKOS [dispatcher]² centrally controls individual announcement locations, specific areas or the entire Hessentag 2027 event site. This reduces the need for separate operating stations, while allowing the installation and management of voice alarm in Idstein to be organized efficiently.

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 NIKOS’s wide range of functions and support you in implementing the requirements cost-effectively.
Does voice alarm remain operational at Hessentag 2027 even in the event of a power or network failure?+
Yes. NIKOS operates via 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 cable routes but communicates via radio, the connection is automatically restored after an interruption. NIKOS is therefore far more resilient to disruptions in normal operations than many other systems, demonstrating the crisis resilience 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 voice alarm for Hessentag 2027 remains reliably functional even in the event of a power failure or disruptions to public communication networks.
Can NIKOS be installed at short notice for voice alarm at Hessentag 2027 in Idstein?+
Yes. NIKOS was specifically developed for flexible outdoor use without fixed infrastructure. The modules can be mounted by one or two people within just a few minutes on various structures such as lampposts, stages, stalls or trees, and configured individually. A standard Schuko power connection is sufficient for continuous operation. NIKOS uses an existing digital radio network.
Can voice alarm for Hessentag 2027 in Idstein be integrated into an existing sound system?+
Yes. NIKOS can be integrated into an existing sound system via NIKOS [XLR]². NIKOS’s technical specification will be adapted to the existing infrastructure before use at Hessentag 2027.
