In order to develop a standardised specification for radio frequency-based remote controls for audio visual consumer electronics devices, Philips, Samsung Electronics, Sony and Panasonic have joined forces.
Working with Freescale Semiconductors, OKI and Texas Instruments, the companies have come together to form the RF4CE (Radio Frequency for Consumer Electronics) Consortium to create a new protocol that will enable the development of radio frequency remote controls. It is anticipated that this will lead to the delivery of richer communication, increased reliability and more flexible use.
