The remote control, currently deployed within the USA and with other countries to follow, has been developed with the needs of daily use in mind and is said to offer an ‘at–home’ feeling’ with direct access to the TV and entertainment solutions within hotel environments.

The product architecture consists of a pre-stressed surface, while metal dome membranes ensure a distinct click feeling. A structured button layout that focuses on the most important functions has been specifically designed to ensure that TV-content is easily accessible for a range of users and age groups.

“We are extremely proud to expand our footprint to the USA and to be partnering with Sonifi whose technology solutions serve around 500 million travellers in approximately one million hotel rooms per year,” said ruwido CEO Ferdinand Maier. "Watching TV is a joy, and the way content is accessed should be a joy too. Therefore, we are developing interactive solutions with the highest manufacturing precision in order to provide ‘user experience excellence’ and also added value for our customer.”
