IR Replacement
Today's Infrared (IR) remote controls are no longer able to keep up with the demands of today's sophisticated consumer electronics market. The replacement technology for IR -- more than 500 million remote controls each year -- will undoubtedly be based on wireless radio frequencies (RF).
 |
A confusing landscape of emerging and projected RF technologies are vying to become the "new" IR replacement -- or worse, become just one of many new IR replacements. Most are plagued by problems of cost and complexity, and others have proven unreliable or even useless in typical residential environments, due to unavoidable interference from common household electronics.
Only one RF technology has been designed specifically for wireless control in residential and light commercial environments, and has proven itself a true platform for manufacturers, retailers and consumers -- Z-Wave‚ by Zensys.

Only Z-Wave offers the combination of performance, reliability, freedom from interference, product/brand interoperability, and cost-effectiveness that will be mandatory for the next generation of remote controls. Z-Wave has already proven its viability and market success with many award-winning products, and is supported by over 175 companies. Z-Wave is the new standard in wireless control.
Zensys has made two white papers available which detail its advantages as the logical replacement for IR technology in remotes:
