Wisycom unveiled two new wireless solutions at IBC 2025, which took place on 12-15 September at RAI Amsterdam. These are the Portable RF-over-Fiber Box, designed for long-distance RF transport, and the MTP61 XL, an updated version of the brand’s miniature multiband bodypack transmitter, now with extended battery life. The company said that these products address critical challenges in today’s broadcast, film and live production environments.
“These two innovations showcase our commitment to solving real-world production challenges, and we’re thrilled to have introduced them to the global broadcast community at IBC,” said Davide Morsiani, CEO of Wisycom. “The Portable RF-over-fiber Box and MTP61 XL represent the next step in reliable, high-performance wireless solutions for professionals working in the most demanding environments.”
Wisycom said its Portable RF-over-Fiber Box provides a compact, field-ready solution for transporting RF signals where coaxial cable is impractical or would introduce excessive signal loss. Available as a two-channel transmitter with isofrequency-over-fibre or diversity receiver with two independent channels, the unit operates over single-mode fibre and is designed to deliver “pristine signal integrity across extended runs with minimal degradation”, the company said.
The firm continued that the solution has a wide dynamic range and low-noise design to ensure clear, interference-free performance, even in congested RF environments. The unit operates on both battery and mains, making it suitable for remote or mobile deployments. It has a temperature-controlled fan and rugged construction designed to provide dependable operation under harsh environmental conditions.
The Portable RF-over-Fiber Box has simple BNC and fibre connections, designed to allow for fast, flexible setup for IFB/IEM transmission or microphone diversity reception, making it a versatile choice for OB trucks, theatre productions and large-scale live events. It also supports remote control via Ethernet, giving operators flexible management even over long distances.
The new MTP61 XL builds on Wisycom’s MTP61 multiband bodypack transmitter, offering double the battery life without sacrificing its compact profile. With 7mm of additional depth, the XL delivers more than 19 hours at 10mW, 16 hours at 50mW and nearly 15 hours at 100mW with recording enabled, the company said. It is designed as a solution for location sound, reality TV, theatre and other talent-heavy productions where size and endurance are paramount.
The MTP61 XL retains Wisycom’s tuning range and advanced linear technology for intermodulation-free frequency planning. It has splash-resistant housing, a proprietary waterproof magnetic connector and Bluetooth monitoring/control via Wisycom Manager or mobile apps to provide flexibility in the field. The company said that existing MTP61 users can upgrade to XL performance by replacing the battery lid and using the new XL battery.
The MTP61 XL is now available, and the Portable RF-over-Fiber Box will be available early Q4 via Wisycom’s distributor network.
