Universal Electronics, a specialist in universal control and sensing technologies for the smart home, has announced a volume shipping deal with Sagemcom for Orange, one of the largest operators of mobile and internet services in Europe and Africa, to develop and supply a remote control unit for the operator’s new 4K UHD TV decoder — the New Live box.
Officially launched in May to the French market, the set-top box features ultra-powerful Wi-Fi capabilities, storage options and access to UHD content.

“The New Live box was developed to address the changing needs of our customers and ensures they have excellent connectivity and a range of content options to choose from.
