Interlink Electronics Announces World's First USB Remote Control for PC Presentations
CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 12, 1999--Interlink Electronics Inc. (Nasdaq:LINK), the world's leading developer of interactive remote controls, today announced RemotePoint(R) RF -- the world's first USB remote control for PC-based presentations.
The new remote control -- the first from Interlink to utilize radio frequency wireless technology -- is a Windows 95/98 computer input peripheral.
"RemotePoint RF is the most intuitive and at the same time one of the most sophisticated remote controls we've ever developed," said Roger Moore, Vice President of Technology and Marketing, Interlink Electronics. "Its design is based on the Interactive Remote Controls we supply to the industry's leading OEMs, such as InFocus Systems, Sony, NEC, SHARP and many others.
"Unlike earlier remotes, RemotePoint uses radio frequency communications to enhance its wireless range and operational versatility. The availability of such a dependable, full-featured
remote control, especially for today's more demanding presentation applications, will attract new OEM partners, existing customers, retailers, VARs, and corporate users alike."
About RemotePoint RF
Designed to meet the diverse needs of presenters, RemotePoint RF is simple to set up and easy to use. The handheld remote does not need to be pointed toward the receiver to operate, as do many infrared remotes. Dedicated slide Forward and Reverse buttons make PC presenting simple and intuitive, and a patented Click Trigger(TM) gives "point and click" command of PC functions.
Back-lit function keys, an integrated laser pointer and an arsenal of multimedia software effects allow users to significantly increase the impact of their presentations. RemotePoint RF is a business communications tool that conveys confidence, commitment and expertise -- without saying a word.
