UEI Strategic Fit

             With rapid changes in technology, upgradeability is the only way to ensure ongoing compatibility with current and future devices. It's also our assurance to you that our products will never be obsolete. UEI's upgrade features provide our customers with a full range of possibilities, including the ability to upgrade their wireless devices remotely via computers, through telephone modems, or through PC speakers.
             With two-way communications, interactive digital cable boxes, satellite boxes and computers have a way to talk to handheld wireless control devices - and UEI's business customers have the opportunity to give consumers the ability to download from the Internet and program their home entertainment equipment.
             UEI's macro keys allow consumers to simplify the complex, multi-step task of using their TV and home theater systems. What could be a multi-step process can now be as simple as hitting a macro button that's labeled 'watch DVD'. Our user-programmable macro keys, pioneered by UEI in 1987, are gaining even more importance as the interactive and touch screen worlds evolve.
             UEI's upgrade features prevent devices from becoming obsolete. A simple six-pin connector allows customers to upgrade their devices via computer at any time directly at the factory, service center, or warehouse. .
             At UEI our library includes more than 110,000 device codes for products made and sold around the world. That means our remotes can readily be programmed to operate equipment in the North American, European, or Asian markets. The high compatibility of our products with numerous brands and manufacturers across the globe results in increased customer satisfaction and fewer customer returns.
             Our advanced database stores more than just the basic codes - it stores every function of each device. Which means our remotes can be specified to include the original remote control commands.
             Combining proprietary software with a detailed understanding of the captured code sets, our programmers can compress more codes and information into a smaller chip.
