Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) has chosen Universal Electronics (NASDAQ:UEIC) to supply voice remote controls for Xfinity services. A recent agreement extends and expands the supply of remote controls, remote control technology, and associated products and services to Comcast over the term of the agreement.
UEI is supplying the latest voice remote platform as the premier universal remote in the XFINITY lineup, as well as other universal remotes and accessories. The new voice-controlled remote features embedded Zigbee RF4CE and over-the-air firmware updates. The voice remote is expected to be widely available later this year.
