CES has been the go to show for consumer products for more than 50 years. Starting in 1967, the consumer electronic show has been a venue for US-based and international manufacturers of products ranging from Audio/Video products to vacuums and microwave ovens.

In the last 20 years, CES has exploded with the introduction of personal electronics like cellular telephones, fitness trackers, smart cameras, IoT devices and other app-enabled devices. There were more than 140,000 attendees at this years CES with 4,500 exhibitors which encompassed 12 different venues and more than 2.5 million square feet of exhibit space.

Celadon has designed and manufactured custom infrared and radio frequency remote control products for many companies that have exhibited their new products at the Consumer Electronic Show.

This is an excellent article that summarizes the semiconductor supply chain disruptions that we experienced over the last few years, due to a perfect storm of circumstances ranging from the COVID-19 pandemic, massive increases in demand of electronics from work from home employees, a fire at a Renesas semiconductor factory in Japan and a drought in Taiwan that impacted semiconductor fabs throughput.

Celadon used these supply chain disruptions as an opportunity to update older circuit designs and standardize a newer, lower cost and more efficient microcontrollers. We were also able to partner with a large Korean semiconductor manufacturer to help guarantee component availability in a reasonable lead-time.

It is encouraging to see that while there are some global challenges, the outlook for 2024 is positive. We are seeing lead-times return closer to pre-COVID levels as fab capacity is increasing and demand is normalizing.

This is an excellent article on Bluetooth pairing and provides a general overview of the pairing process. A remote control control would typically pair to a single device, like a set-top box or camera, and use either a Secure Connection (SC) or Legacy Pairing Method. A remote would normally be used in a private environment, where the security requirements would be lower than devices used in a public space.

Celadon works closely with clients to define functional and security requirements for Bluetooth products to ensure optimum performance and usability.
