Frequently Asked Questions

What types of custom remote controls do you manufacture?

Remote Source specializes in manufacturing custom RF (radio frequency), IR (infrared), Bluetooth, Voice, and antimicrobial remote controls tailored to each client’s exact specifications. 

Whether you need remote controls for hospitality, cruise lines, senior living facilities, healthcare systems, streaming and cable TV clients, or industrial applications, we handle everything from concept to delivery. 

Our remotes are designed to work across a range of frequencies, include universal programming options, and can be paired with proprietary or existing receiver systems.

Can you match the functionality of our current remote control model?

Yes, we can replicate and often improve upon the functionality of your current remote model. Whether it’s a discontinued remote, a UEI Slate replacement, or a proprietary design, our engineers can reverse-engineer or custom design a solution that works seamlessly with your existing systems, often with shorter lead times and lower costs than the original supplier.

How long does the custom manufacturing process take?

Our average lead time for custom remote control production is between 30 to 45 days. This includes initial design consultation, prototype approval, production, and delivery. If your project requires faster turnaround, expedited options are available depending on the design complexity and order volume.

Do you offer antimicrobial or waterproof remote control options?

Absolutely. We offer antimicrobial coatings and waterproof designs that are ideal for environments where hygiene and durability are critical, such as hospitals, clinics, senior living facilities, and high-traffic public venues. These features help reduce the spread of germs while extending the life of the device.

Can Remote Source manufacture both the remote and the receiver?

Yes, we provide complete system solutions. We can manufacture custom RF remotes and pair them with receivers that match your required specifications, including frequency, range, and output type. Our paired systems are tested thoroughly to ensure reliable performance in the field.

Do you support OEM and white-label remote control manufacturing?

We support full OEM and white-label production. Remote Source can produce your custom remotes with your logo, packaging, and branding elements. This is ideal for companies looking to enhance their brand presence or expand their product line without investing in internal development.

What industries does Remote Source serve?

Remote Source serves a wide range of industries including hospitality, healthcare, transportation, marine, entertainment, and smart home integration. We also work with MSPs, MVPDs, OEMs, and VARs looking to integrate custom remote control solutions into their existing services or product offerings.

What are the minimum order quantities for custom remote manufacturing?

Our typical minimum order quantity starts at 500 units, but we are flexible depending on the project scope. For specialty remotes or ongoing programs, we offer scalable pricing and repeat production schedules to support growth and inventory management.

Can I get a quote or sample before placing a full order?

Yes, we offer free consultations and can provide a quote based on your specific design or functional requirements. In most cases, we also provide prototype samples before beginning full production to ensure the remote meets your expectations.
