UEI's Eterna Remote Receives the CES 2023 Innovation Award (Graphic: Business Wire)
Maximum performance with minimum battery waste
Targeting TV service providers that want to minimize their carbon footprint and battery waste without compromising on the consumer experience, UEI has designed and developed its most advanced and sustainable voice remote-control platform ever.
The UEI Eterna family of products are built with UEI’s new Xtreme Low-Power Bluetooth LE silicon making them 2.5 times more powerful and up to 10 times more efficient than the previous generation of voice remote controls. In combination with a revolutionary high-density photovoltaic panel that harvests three times more energy than traditional panels, it can self-power despite intense usage or in low light conditions.
For better accessibility in the dark, the UEI Eterna line supports Ambient-Aware backlighting. The backlight activates when there is insufficient lighting in the room. This further reduces power consumption to a bare minimum. UEI Eterna is built with recycled and recyclable materials and packaged free of single-use plastics (SUP). To facilitate refurbishment and recycling programs, the products are specifically designed for easy disassembly which helps to minimize waste and maximize the re-use of field returned units.
“With sustainability as a driving force for product innovation and design at UEI, we are delighted that our UEI Eterna product received this award,” said Menno Koopmans, SVP of Global Sales and Marketing. “The UEI Eterna remote is the first of its kind that delivers on our customers’ sustainability goals without having to compromise on user experience or product features. This innovation is a clear milestone on our journey towards a battery-less world.”
The UEI Eterna and UEI Eterna XLR also feature a unique Interactive Light Bar that communicates its status in real-time with the end user using distinct and recognizable light patterns.
The product line comes with a unique pre-integrated support system that enhances its sustainability performance as it minimizes customer service calls or related truck rolls:
- Powered by QuickSet® Cloud, it supports UEI’s unique and widely adopted automated discovery and set-up capability to pair the set-top-box remote with the customer’s TV, soundbar or audio system. In 2022 alone, QuickSet is estimated to have saved UEI’s existing pay TV customers over 4 million man-hours of programming time.
- It is supported by UEI’s Virtual Agent that provides self-help capabilities during installation, feature discovery and troubleshooting, and is available on both the TV screen and the mobile device.
- It comes with the turnkey white label My Nevo Companion App to enable the setup and support via a mobile device, customize the user preferences, and optimize power management.
- UEI’s new plug-and-play SDK facilitates easy and trouble-free integration with Android TV set-top boxes.
The UEI Eterna family of products is developed for Android TV and RDK operating systems and is scheduled to be available by the end of the first quarter of 2023.
