What’s new in 2025? Well, we’re starting the year strong with a new firmware update for all EnPointe Wireless Display and Relay Box Sets.
Firmware version v1.8 includes improvements for all weapons, with some exciting new features!
Here’s what’s new:
NEW FEATURE: DISPLAY BOX REPEATER LIGHTS
You can now configure any Display Box (or Boxes!) to act as a repeater light for another Display Box. Using Repeater Mode, you can ‘touch on’ Display Boxes to one another.
This enhancement is designed to benefit a diverse range of clubs and fencers. It’s perfect to set up at a permanent club with repeaters at each end, or to use extra Display Boxes to construct a championship piste!

NEW FEATURE: EXPERIMENTAL BLUETOOTHⓇ RELAY SUPPORT
EnPointe systems how have the ability to broadcast the state of the fencing lights in real time to other Bluetooth devices (eg. phone/tablet/computer).
Potential applications include broadcasting to external repeater lights, synchronised video replay and linking to tournament software. One such app has already implemented this feature; Super Fencing System is a video replay app compatible with EnPointe Display Boxes updated with firmware v1.8.
We’re opening this up to the community for new use cases. Technical documentation is coming soon; contact us if you would like early access.
FIRMWARE IMPROVEMENTS FOR DISPLAY BOXES
- Implemented a better charging algorithm and with a more accurate battery level indicator.
- Improved LED display panel performance — lower latency and fixed glitches that could occur in certain conditions.
- Increased battery life, especially on lower brightness settings, and in cases when the warning lights are frequently displayed.
- When the battery is running very low, the display will now automatically dim instead of turning off (but will still turn off when empty).
- Minor bug fixes.
FIRMWARE IMPROVEMENTS FOR SABRE
- Fixed a bug that caused erroneous lights when using some pocket boxes.
- Improved sensitivity when there’s a lot of electrical interference in the environment.
