What Bsrf does

BSRF (legal entity BSRF S.A.S.) is a French designer and manufacturer founded in 2017 and headquartered in Saint-Jean-d'Illac (registered office in Bobigny), specializing in Radio over Fiber (RoF) equipment and RF distribution products for professional broadcast and audiovisual applications. The company's core technology converts RF signals to optical signals using 1310nm wavelength monomode fiber (with WDM/CWDM multiplexing options), enabling extended-range antenna deployment in film shoots, sports events, television studios, and reality TV productions while avoiding electromagnetic interference and reducing cable weight compared to coaxial alternatives. Its product portfolio spans simplex RoF emitters and receivers (FTX-1, FRX-1), remote antenna fiber boxes (AFB-250/350/450), dual fiber antenna receivers (AFR-200, AFR-250S), hybrid diversity combiners with IP remote control (ACH-642, ACH-862), transmission and duplex stations (ATH-200, ADH-400), active antenna splitters (AS-62, AS-122, AS-84), and supporting accessories including filtered amplifiers, power combiners, broadband noise sources, RF power meters, and coaxial cables. All products carry a 2-year limited warranty and operate in the UHF/VHF range (100MHz-1GHz).

BSRF generates revenue through B2B hardware sales priced via quote, with orders above 1,500 EUR HT requiring a 30% deposit and payment terms of either 2% discount within 8 days or 30 days net. The company sells primarily through a global authorized distributor network of 24+ dealers across 23 countries in Europe, North America, Asia, and Oceania, supplemented by a direct e-commerce storefront on its multilingual website. Named enterprise references include public broadcasters France Télévisions and Radio France, professional audio companies Sennheiser and Gotham Sound, and equipment distributors WNM, Tapages, Audiomaster, DCA Audiovisuel, and Video Plus. The company holds French Fab certification, indicating recognized French design and manufacturing origin, and operates with a team of 1-10 employees as a privately held Société par Actions Simplifiée with no disclosed external investors, subsidiaries, or M&A activity.

Core offering

BSRF designs, manufactures, and sells Radio over Fiber (RoF) converters, antenna fiber boxes, hybrid combiners, active antenna splitters, and related RF distribution/measurement products. The company's offerings convert RF signals to optical signals over monomode fiber (1310nm) to extend range, eliminate electromagnetic interference, and reduce deployment weight for professional broadcast, live event, film, and television studio applications.

Product overview

BSRF is a French manufacturer (established 2017) specializing in Radio over Fiber (RoF) technology for professional audio-visual antenna distribution. The product portfolio consists of a unified system of RF-over-fiber transmission and reception equipment, including compact transmitters (FTX-1) and receivers (FRX-1, AFR-200, AFR-250S) that convert RF signals to optical for extended range deployment via fiber optic cables. The system architecture includes remote antenna boxes (AFB-250, AFB-350, AFB-450) positioned at antenna sites, hybrid combiners (ACH-642, ACH-862, ATH-200, ADH-400) that merge coax and fiber inputs for diversity reception, and active antenna splitters (AS-62, AS-122, AS-84) for distributing signals to multiple diversity receivers. Supporting accessories include filtered amplifiers (FA-1), power combiners (PC-2, LAC-21), broadband noise sources (NS-1) for RF testing, power meters (PM-1), and coaxial cables. All equipment uses monomode fiber with standard connectors (LC/APC, OpticalCon Duo) and operates in the UHF/VHF frequency bands (100MHz-1GHz). Products are designed and manufactured in France with a 2-year warranty.

Direct peers

• Riedel Communications: Riedel is a leading manufacturer of intercom, fiber, and radio solutions for broadcast, live events, and theatre. It is the most directly comparable peer: BSRF's ADH-400 station is explicitly compatible with Riedel/RTS intercom base stations, and the two compete for the same fiber-based RF distribution budgets in pro-broadcast.
• Sonifex: Sonifex manufactures professional broadcast audio equipment including talkback, intercom, and audio distribution. Several of its products overlap with the hybrid combiner / intercom station use cases BSRF's ACH and ADH lines address.
• Wisycom: Wisycom designs and manufactures wireless microphone systems and RF/antenna distribution equipment for broadcast, film, and live events. Its antenna combiners and splitters overlap directly with BSRF's AS-62/122/84 and ACH-862 product lines.
• Lectrosonics: Lectrosonics makes professional wireless audio systems and RF distribution/combining equipment for film, broadcast, and live performance. Its antenna distribution products target the same production crews that buy BSRF's RoF boxes.

Broad incumbents

• Shure Incorporated: Shure is a major incumbent in professional wireless microphones and RF distribution accessories. It competes broadly in BSRF's downstream customer use cases (live events, broadcast) with deeper resources and global distribution.
• Sennheiser (Professional Audio): Sennheiser is a global leader in professional wireless microphones and audio. Although its portfolio is much broader than BSRF's, Sennheiser also distributes RF/antenna accessories in the same channel — and is itself listed as a BSRF customer/partner.

Others

• Optical Cable Corporation: OCC manufactures fiber optic cables and connectivity for harsh-environment and broadcast applications. As an enabling component supplier, it sits adjacent to BSRF's monomode-fiber-based RoF products and shares the same pro-AV/broadcast end customers.
• Canare Electric Co., Ltd. Canare is a Japanese manufacturer of professional broadcast cables, connectors, and fiber-optic systems. It is a complementary supplier to the same broadcast ecosystem that BSRF sells into and overlaps in coaxial cable assemblies (similar to BSRF's Coax SMA-SMA90°).
