RF4CE Overview
With the use of ZigBee
®
RF4CE radio
frequency (RF) technology, remote
control applications can operate
non-line-of-sight and provide more
advanced features based on
bidirectional communication.
ZigBee RF4CE advanced features for
remote control applications:
• Nonline-of-sightcontrol
• Longerrange
• Richercommunication

RemoTI™ is a complete hardware and
software solution for RF4CE remote
control applications. TI has a mature
and broad Portfolio (3rd generation
802.15.4 SoC and RF4CE golden
platform):
• Software:Theindustry-leading
RF4CE-compliant stack feature the
ZRC profile, a simple API, easy to
understand sample application code
and remote control reference design.
• Hardware:CC2533System-on-
Chip (SoC) optimized for IEEE
802.15.4-based remote-control
applications. The CC2533 enables
single-chip remote controls to
be built with lower power, higher
reliability and lower bill-of material
cost than alternative devices.
• Extensiveworldwidesupportand
tools to ensure that development of
ZigBee RF4CE-based products is
simple, fast and can be completed at
minimal cost.
TI’s industry-leading ZigBee RF4CE
protocol stack
TI’s ZigBee RF4CE-compliant protocol
stack for remote control applications
is built on TI’s well proven IEEE
802.15.4 compliant TIMAC. It offers a
simple, easy-to-use, intuitive software
architectural framework and all of the
tools, documentation, and support
needed to build an RF4CE compliant
product.
The stack is compliant with the ZigBee
RF4CE specification and supports the
ZRC (ZigBee Remote Control) profile
and will support the upcoming ZID
(ZigBee Input Device) profile.
The latest RemoTI stack is
downloadable from the TI web site
without any royalty charge.
