Remote controls revolutionized the way we could do things. They changed the way we watch TV. They changed the way we
listen to music. They even changed the way we park our cars. And then they stopped revolutionizing and instead evolved to
become more and more complex. They became bigger. They became weighed down with too many buttons, too many
confusing things that you could do.
Aeotecs Key Fob, from our Gen5 range of products, takes the remote back to where it began. It's easy to use. It's simple. It's
small. It's there for when you need it and it's out of sight for when you don't.
