At the recent IBC 2025 Show in Amsterdam, Wisycom introduced the new Portable RF-over-Fiber Box, designed for long-distance RF transport, as well as the new MTP61 XL, an updated version of the brand’s miniature multiband bodypack transmitter that now provides extended battery life.
“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.”
The Portable RF-over-Fiber Box is designed for transporting RF signals where coaxial cable is impractical or would introduce excessive signal loss. Available as a two-channel transmitter with isofrequency-over-fiber or diversity receiver with two independent channels, the unit operates over single-mode fiber to deliver signal integrity across extended runs with minimal degradation.
The unit operates on both battery and mains, making it well suited for remote or mobile deployments, while a temperature-controlled fan and rugged construction are designed to provide dependable operation under harsh environmental conditions. Simple BNC and fiber connections allow for fast setup for IFB/IEM transmission or microphone diversity reception, making it a choice for OB trucks, theatre productions and large-scale live events. It also supports remote control via Ethernet, giving operators more flexible management, even over longer distances.
The new MTP61 XL builds on the MTP61 compact multiband bodypack transmitter to offer double the battery life. With just 7 mm of additional depth, the XL is stated to deliver over 19 hours at 10 mW, 16 hours at 50 mW and nearly 15 hours at 100 mW with recording enabled.
The MTP61 XL retains Wisycom’s wide tuning range and linear technology for intermodulation-free frequency planning. Its rugged, splash-resistant housing, proprietary waterproof magnetic connector and Bluetooth monitoring/control via Wisycom Manager or mobile apps provide added flexibility in the field. 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.
