Developing Solutions

The remote control provides your customers with the primary access point to your product’s features and capabilities, and the quality and usability of the remote has a major impact on user satisfaction and word-of-mouth product recommendations.  Yet the remote control component of the overall project is often left to the final weeks of product development, when budgets and design cycles are especially tight.

Interlink Electronics’ engineering department can help you resolve this dilemma with integrated industrial design, mechanical engineering and manufacturing capabilities that enable you to create innovative design concepts and turn them into intuitive remote control products quickly and efficiently.

Selecting Your Starting Point
Our project teams are ready to take over the design of your remote at almost any point in the process.  We have designed and manufactured remote controls starting with everything from a rough back-of-the napkin concept to a completed 3D industrial design. We also offer turnkey solutions that can lower your costs and speed time to market.  In every situation, we use a project management process that keeps projects on schedule and produces the functional and cosmetic samples that are essential for integrating the remote control effectively with your product.

Balancing Form and Function
Successful remote control solutions manage to strike that elusive balance between form and function.  Our experienced remote control designer team can help find that balance, avoid subtle design pitfalls and create a remote control solution that is comfortable in the hand, easy to operate and attractive.

Protocol and Receiver Design
Interlink Electronics designs many remote controls using industry standard communication protocols. Of course, there are times when these protocols are insufficient to handle the communication needs of advanced controls.  For these situations, our engineering team develops new protocols that work in harmony with existing protocols to create the best solutions.  Our team also develops receiver and receiver chip solutions that can handle advanced protocols and give your product the ability to control other products, such as personal computers and set-top boxes.

The Best Solution for Your Unique Situation
With strategic locations in California, Honk Kong and China, we have the tools, resources and expertise to manage all the design, engineering, prototyping, project management and finite element analysis requirements of your next remote control project.
