Unique and Revolutionary New Weather Resistant Controller Selected as Honoree in Home Theater Accessories Category for 2008 CES Innovations Awards SHAKOPEE, MN -November 13, 2007 - Remote Technologies Inc, the leading control systems manufacturer in the custom electronics industry, received top honors today in the Home Theater Accessories category at the 2008 CES Innovations Awards. As a result, the RTI U2 Weather Resistant Controller was selected as an Innovations 2008 Design and Engineering Award honoree, adding yet another award to the roster of accolades.
The U2 Weather Resistant Controller is a revolutionary new remote control. It is long overdue to have a customizable control device, designed for wet or harsh environments, available in our market. The U2 is the ultimate solution to access entertainment by the pool, hot tub, on a yacht or in the shower said Pete Baker, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for RTI. RTI is honored to be recognized in the 2008 CES Innovations Awards for Design and Engineering. This accolade cements our unwavering commitment and passion in creating completely customizable control solutions for Professional Integrators and their clients.
Sleek and durable, the U2 is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in hands of all sizes and allow comfortable, easy, one-handed access to all controls. Elegantly finished in matte silver and light blue, the U2 is designed for reliable wireless control of audio/video as well as other electronic systems in environments which are too harsh for conventional remote controls. It is completely sealed, making it both weather resistant.
With the U2 Weather Resistant Controller, consumers can take control of the most sophisticated media room or environmental systems from the pool to the playroom, backyard, or boat. By featuring an easy-to-read, high-contrast, customizable, LCD which can display custom graphics or text, users can even view the display in bright sunlight. This provides a simple and flexible interface for operating any electronics system. In addition to the backlit display, there are 33 tactile membrane buttons to allow easy access to frequently used functions. When coupled with RTI accessory devices, the U2 is capable of power sensing for reliable operation and RS-232 communications for advance control. Sleek and durable, the U2 expands control for the home owner wherever their lifestyle requires.
