The all-new remote control platform ETERNA is the next-generation entertainment controller that delivers on Universal Electronics (UEI) mission for a more sustainable future.
The biggest impact in sustainability comes from UEI’s Xtreme Low Power Bluetooth silicon and energy harvesting capabilities. The chip captures energy from ambient sources such as indoor light or WiFi signals in the home to power the Android TV and RDK- ready remote so you never have to replace your batteries.
Designed from & for recycling this is our most sustainable remote so far!

Designed for the future.
The ETERNA platform is built from the ground up with a sustainability mindset. It uses Post Consumer Recycled plastics to dramatically reduce the usage of virgin materials, and it
is built so it can easily disassemble and recycle after its useful lifetime.
Never replace your batteries!
The revolutionary single-cell solar panel allows for the most efficient and effective translation of light into energy. Its high-density capability captures up to 3 times more energy than conventional solar panels. More importantly, unlike conventional solar panels, it is capable to use indoor light sources and starts capturing energy even in low-light conditions.
The solar panel blends in with the top case and puts the branding at the center of panel to send a strong message.

Enhanced Tactility
Tactility is essential on remote controls as it provides users with a sense of control, confirmation, and confidence when interacting while they look at the TV screen.
For ETERNA we integrated some very strong tactile elements in both keypad and housing to improve the overall user experience.
Seamless control
ETERNA comes in several executions. All of the remotes include advanced TV control features such as Voice Control, Bluetooth and infrared control of your TV, streaming or cable box, and soundbar or audio receiver. Clearly grouped around the central experience cluster.
Ambient back-lighting and the LED feedback bar give the user an additional sense of control.
