SMK Electronics, a division of SMK Corporation, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of OEM remote controls, announced today that it will showcase a family of advanced set-top box remote controls this week in Panamá City at Expo-convención Tepal 2015 (Hotel Sheraton, July 23rd and 24th, booth #12).
SMK’s remote control solutions allow PayTV operators to adopt just one model to serve a multiple set-top box environment. Supporting customization options including service provider branding and the addition of regional and unique Audio and Video Device Libraries, SMK remotes reduce logistics, call center, purchasing and engineering costs, while increasing subscriber usability and satisfaction.
“Utilizing advanced wireless technologies, SMK’s remote control solutions provide the latest user interface (UI) options including ‘Voice-Over RF’ and ‘Gesture-Based’ screen navigation,” said Paul Evans, President SMK Electronics Corporation. “As PayTV operators compete to expand services in Latin America, success will depend heavily upon the subscriber’s interface to these services—the set-top box remote control. Providing intuitive control for the most advanced PayTV content, SMK’s remote control solutions are designed to optimize subscriber adoption, engagement and loyalty.”
