RefSuite Modules
RefCam
The Referee’s Point of View
RefCam® is an ultra-lightweight, head-mounted camera that captures stabilized, wide-angle footage from the referee’s perspective. It enriches live broadcasts, post-match analysis, and training with immersive, first-person views that enhance both decision-making and fan engagement.
RefBox
Video Review
RefBox is a comprehensive video review system tailored for officiating and coaching analysis, built on certified VAR technology. Supporting up to 25 synchronized camera feeds with slow motion and clip export, it serves as the analytical core of the RefSuite ecosystem. Integrated with RefComms, it enables officials to create real-time review markers directly via their comms beltpacks.
RefComms
Referee Communication
RefComms is a secure and reliable wireless communication system designed for professional officiating. Built on Riedel’s Bolero S, it delivers secure and crystal-clear audio in any environment using proprietary receiver technology and high-end encryption. As a core of RefSuite, it links with RefCam and RefBox for coordinated, real-time decision-making.
RefCloud
Media Cloud Services
Wige Atmosphere / RefCloud is a cloud-based media management system for storing, processing, and sharing video content. Fully compatible with RefBox and RefCam media, it allows for seamless content distribution between stakeholders. It’s the content backbone of the RefSuite ecosystem — enabling collaborative workflows and centralized media access.
CoachComms
Coach & Staff Communication
CoachComms provides encrypted, interference-free sideline communication for coaching staff. Built on the same Bolero platform as RefComms, it ensures consistent performance in both daily training and matchday situations. It completes the RefSuite circle by empowering teams to coordinate strategies live and securely wherever they are.
