Design Considerations

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.

RemoTI is Texas Instruments solution for RF4CE.

RemoTI is a complete solution offering hardware and software support for TI’s low-power RF product portfolio. With the RemoTI solution we provide:

Hardware roadmap for a cost-reduced, feature-enriched solution designed for RF4CE

RF4CE is built on our well-tested, reliable software, the TIMAC, which is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol stack and runs in millions of devices worldwide

Extensive worldwide support and tools to ensure development of RF4CE-based products is simple, fast and can be completed at minimal cost.
