Most existing remote controls use infrared technology to communicate commands to controlled devices. However, radio frequency (RF) remote controls enable non-line-of-sight operation and provide more advanced features based on bi-directional RF communication.
| ZigBee® RF4CE | |
| ZigBee RF4CE (Radio Frequency for Consumer Electronics) is the result of a recent agreement between the ZigBee Alliance and the RF4CE Consortium and has been designed to be deployed in a wide range of remotely-controlled audio/visual consumer electronics products, such as TVs and set-top boxes. ZigBee RF4CE promises you: | |
| • | Richer communication and increased reliability |
| • | Enhanced features and flexibility |
| • | Interoperability |
| • | No line-of-sight barrier |
