Radio Technology Somfy®
Radio technology allows for scheduling the installation of equipment in time: it is easily adapted to changes in interior design as modifying a unit location or adding new ones is hassle-free and without any damage to walls.
The time that is saved in installing wireless control units brings the low-cost aspect of radio technology forward: price of wireless controls closely matches up to that of installed wired units.
With more than 4 000 000 systems integrated with RTS worldwide, Radio Technology Somfy® is now the leader in its class when it comes to secure radio controls. It is easy-to-use and guarantees complete compatibility between the motors and RTS controls.
- With a transmission range of 200m in free space or 20m through two concrete walls, RTS guarantees efficient controls from every room.
- RTS is secure: its unbreakable hopping code of 16 million combinations make the RTS remote control entirely secure.
- RTS’s narrow bandwidth prevents the transmissions from being jeopardized by telephones, television sets, Wifi, Bluetooth…
It is possible to upgrade a wired system to radio technology and gain the comfort of a remote control: simply by replacing the wired controls with the Centralis uno RTS that carries a built-in radio receiver.
