Wireless Technology | Home theaters, audio systems | Industry Standard: IR only (30ft range) Our Base: IR (30ft range) Our Advanced: IR + Bluetooth (▲1) (30ft IR + 30m Bluetooth) (IR: 30ft = typical living room coverage) | ▲1: Advanced adds Bluetooth for multi-device pairing. Industry Standard: Cost-effective. Our Base: Reliable line-of-sight control. | IR requires line-of-sight (▲0). Advanced: Slightly higher cost. |
Durability | Frequent use, high-traffic environments | Industry Standard: Plastic (ASTM D638 tensile strength 3,500 psi) Our Base: ABS (▲1) (ASTM D638: 4,500 psi) Our Advanced: Reinforced ABS (▲2) (ASTM D638: 5,500 psi) (ABS: Resists cracks under stress) | ▲2: Advanced withstands drops/impact better. Our Base: 30% stronger than Standard. | Higher material costs for Advanced. Standard may degrade over time. |
Range | Large rooms, outdoor AV setups | Industry Standard: 20ft IR (▲0) Our Base: 30ft IR (▲1) Our Advanced: 40ft IR (▲2) + Bluetooth 30m (▲3) (40ft = covers 2-story homes) | ▲3: Advanced suits large spaces. Our Base: Covers most living rooms. | IR range limited by obstacles. Bluetooth may introduce latency. |
Power Efficiency | Battery-operated devices | Industry Standard: 1 AAA battery (▲0, 6-month lifespan) Our Base: Low-power IR (▲1, 12-month lifespan) Our Advanced: Auto-shutoff + Bluetooth (▲2, 18-month lifespan) (12-month = reduces replacement frequency) | ▲2: Advanced cuts battery costs long-term. Our Base: 2x longer life than Standard. | Advanced requires firmware updates. Standard may drain batteries faster. |
Customization | Smart home ecosystems | Industry Standard: Fixed code (supports 5 devices) (▲0) Our Base: Fixed code (▲0, 10 devices) Our Advanced: Programmable buttons + app control (▲3, 20+ devices) (Programmable = remap functions) | ▲3: Advanced integrates with smart hubs. Our Base: Better compatibility with devices. | Standard lacks flexibility. Advanced requires setup expertise. |
Compatibility | Multi-brand systems | Industry Standard: Basic protocols (IR only) (▲0) Our Base: IR + universal codes (▲1, 100+ devices) Our Advanced: IR + Bluetooth + RF (▲2, 500+ devices) (Universal codes = works with most brands) | ▲2: Advanced controls TVs, speakers, and lights. Our Base: Versatile for AV setups. | Standard limited to single-brand use. Advanced may conflict with RF devices. |
