Company profile

Founded in 1991, Philips Home Control (previously named 'Remote Control Systems') began as an independent unit within Royal Philips Electronics to support the company's remote control solution requirements. Over the years, we have expanded to provide both standard and customised wireless input and control solutions for major electronics manufacturers worldwide.

Today, we pride ourselves as a preferred partner to leading companies in the home entertainment domain, offering complete innovative solutions for all possible applications, ranging from IPTV to cable & satellite, consumer electronics, home automation and pc-based applications. Philips Home Control has developed many of the industry’s standard protocols (IR or RF) and offers an extensive portfolio of patents that improve the performance, ease-of-use and functionality of remote controls.

Apart from the business-to-business department, Philips Home Control also develops & manufactures the retail remotes for Philips, which can be found on the Philips website. Since 1999, we have also successfully positioned ourselves as a premium player in the touch-screen universal remote control for consumers with the Pronto product range.

Sense & Simplicity
Philips Home Control envisions providing consumers with intuitive user interfaces that allow them to search, access, organize and enjoy multimedia content. We set ourselves apart from other remote control providers with our dedication to our brand promise, which is ‘Sense & Simplicity’. Backed by our three pillars: ‘Designed around you’, ‘ Easy to experience’ and ‘Advanced’, we are committed to developing technology that is built around the people who use it. And although the technology itself may be highly advanced, we believe the way it is used should make sense. It should make life easier & simpler for everyone.
