Our Offerings

The UIE Eterna range of remote controls addresses battery waste by making the batteries last for many years, and reduces plastic use at all stages of the production and distribution.

More information on our sustainability efforts

Xtreme Low Power

The Eterna remote control platform is based on the new UE961 Bluetooth LE chipset that’s 80% more efficient. At the same time it’s more powerful than traditional BLE chipsets. It can run advanced codecs like Opus and supports Bluetooth 5.3.

Battery for Life

Thanks to its Xtreme Low Power design, Eterna can work ten times as long on a single pair of AAA batteries, enabling it to last 7 years with a typical usage pattern. Most users will not need to replace the batteries throughout the lifetime of the remote.

PCR plastics

The encasing of Eterna is manufactured using 95% PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) plastic, so less plastic needs to be made and less plastic ends up in waste disposal.

Ambient-aware Backlight

Thanks to an ambient light sensor, the UEI Eterna can adjust the backlight to the light level in the room, and switch it off during the day to save energy for the night hours when backlight is really useful.

ATV/RDK multi-platform

Eterna is available in versions pre-integrated with Android TV set-top boxes as well as versions pre-integrated with the RDK Accelerator platform. This flexibility means minimum time-to-market for operators and set-top box makers.

Designed for refurbishment

Eterna is designed for easy disassembly, so when the product is eventually returned, in an automated process it can be split into separate components for recycling or refurbishment and reuse. In our Like New program we have refurbished already millions of remotes for our customers.

Eco packaging

Eterna remote controls are shipped in packaging free from single-use-plastics (SUP-free). The remotes are wrapped in a sheet of biodegradable material. A carton box that holds dozens of them is sealed with paper tape, and a pallet of these carton boxes also uses paper tape instead of materials like nylon tape and shrink-wrap plastic.
