What is Radio Frequency for Consumer Electronics (RF4CE)?
Jul 6, 2019
Radio Frequency for Consumer Electronics (RF4CE) is a radio frequency standard that was created for remote control devices for consumer electronics. The technology is based on 2.4 GHz IEEE® 802.15.4 MAC/PHY radio technology.
ZigBee RF4CE was introduced to replace IR remote control technology and overcome its limitations like interoperability, line-of-sight, and limited features. The specification creates a remote control network layer that allows for simple, low-power, low-latency communication for a wide range of products including home entertainment devices, garage door openers and keyless entry systems, based on the IEEE 802.15.4 specification. It provides two-way RF communication that ensures interoperability between remote controls and audio/visual (A/V) devices.
The RF4CE specification was standardized in 2009 by a consortium that includes Panasonic, Philips, Sony and Samsung. And is now a part of ZigBee Alliance®.
