Wisycom has announced the BFL1 RF-over-Fibre interface, a compact, easy-to-set-up module that offers a new way to support RF coverage and distribution requirements without concern for cable loss.

Expanding on Wisycom’s existing RF-over-Fibre solutions, the BFL1 features selectable filters, expanded dynamic range, and a long-range Bluetooth 5 programming link. Replacing the need for larger devices that historically supported RF-over-Fibre, the single-unit BFL offers the same robustness in a more compact and cost-effective package.

‘RF-over-fibre systems can be challenging for users in stadiums, events, large facilities and remote productions, but the Wisycom BFL1 module simplifies the process,’ explains Wisycom Support Manager, Leslie Lello. ‘The BFL1 can be easily configured by operators directly through the module’s high-contrast OLED display with navigation buttons. It will also soon be controllable through the Wisycom App, which eliminates the need for network connectivity.’

Additionally, the unit uses a custom-designed laser for that provides more than 90dB of dynamic range, dramatically improving the signal quality and providing a low noise-floor for wireless mic and IEM/IFB systems. For a link without distance limits, the BFL1 replaces the need for coaxial cables and allows antennas to be placed miles away.

Like the Wisycom BFA, the BFL1 interface also has 16 filter banks that can protect against unwanted signals and maximise performance of the connected wireless systems. These filters include a 40MHz tunable filter, allowing users to optimise the BFL1 while adhering to the local RF regulations for productions.

The BFL1 can be configured to work with other BFL1 interfaces for point-to-point and point-to-multi-point applications, as well as with the Wisycom MFL RF-over-Fibre system. Many recently released Wisycom products will also benefit by interfacing with the BFL1, including the MRK16 receiver system, the MRK980 dual receiver and the MTK952 wireless IEM/IFB system.
