RF4CE (消费电子无线射频)行业联盟的成立旨在开发将进一步推动音频视频器件采用射频远程控制的新协议。联盟的创始成员，如松下、飞利浦、三星电子和索尼等将与德州仪器、OKI和飞思卡尔一起，共同制定射频远程控制的标准规范，以提供更丰富的通信，更高的可靠性和更灵活的使用。

30多年来，消费电子行业一直将IR技术用于联网。基于IR的远程控制单元的通信必须在器件的视距范围内，距离非常近。随着人们对更大、连接性更强的消费设备（如等离子和LCD屏幕）的需求持续增长，IR技术由于其技术局限，无法继续有效控制这些大型设备，因此人们迫切需要更灵活的解决方案。

RF娱乐控制网络的最终目的不只是取代IR远程控制。RF技术将有望支持高级控制功能，如娱乐设备间的双向通信。利用一个RF远程器件，消费者就能控制联网家庭的方方面面。它能够从家中的任何一个地方对家电和设备进行控制，根本不会有墙壁和地面的障碍。

RF4CE - Change Infrared to RF with RemoTI™

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.

RF4CE industry consortium

The RF4CE (Radio Frequency for Consumer Electronics) consortium has been formed to develop a new protocol that will further the adoption of radio frequency remote controls for audio visual devices. This standardized specification will deliver:

●Richer communication

●Increased reliability

●Enhanced features and flexibility

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
