Sacramento Production Services recently completed a major wireless audio overhaul at Sutter Health Park. The upgrade provides the stadium with a robust system capable of managing the intense RF environment required for professional baseball broadcasts.
Why it matters
The upgrade was necessary to resolve frequency drops and unpredictable performance caused by the high RF congestion of Major League Baseball coverage. This transition improves reliability over the stadium's previous minor-league-era audio infrastructure.
The system includes 10 Wisycom antennas, with four deployed in the outfield via fiber and six distributed across the home side stands, roof, and concourse. These components utilize BFL-T2 and BFL-R2 antenna-over-fiber links to ensure coverage.
