Smart TV
Tap apps, switch channels, scrub the timeline — goodbye to arrow-key hunting.
Full-stack solution
UWB Pointing Remote Complete Solution
A turnkey UWB pointing remote solution from chip and algorithms all the way to mass-production tooling — 1T3R RF chain, RC2+TV3 antenna, CMOS SoC, and AOA/Fusion algorithms. Production-ready in three months.
Six scenarios, one solution
The same UWB pointing remote design covers big-screen interactions from living-room TV to the boardroom.
Education screen
Tap, drag and annotate lessons as naturally as on a tablet.
Commercial signage
Walk through dashboards, flip pages and present — one remote for the whole room.
Laser projector
Point-to-control fits ultra-short-throw and laser-projection setups naturally.
TV box
A Dongle at the box side upgrades any TV to pointing — no TV redesign needed.
UWB laser pointer
Flip slides and highlight from the back of the room — a true IR-pointer replacement.
Why a pointing remote
Six dimensions that define the next generation of big-screen interaction.
Zero learning curve
Point to control — as intuitive as a mouse. No button memory, no cursor hunting.
Faster, more accurate
Tap apps, switch channels, scrub the timeline — far more efficient than arrow keys.
Richer interaction
Cursor, swipe and gesture — as familiar as your phone or tablet, smoother on the big screen.
Two-device control
One remote for both TV and set-top box — no more juggling multiple controllers.
Minimalist hardware
Pointing handles the complexity, so the remote can shed buttons and look better.
Spatial differentiation
Differentiated features lift the product tier, refine the experience and strengthen product differentiation and support premium positioning.
Industry signal
Google is making the pointing remote the new standard for Google TV
At Google I/O 2026 (May 20), Google shipped developer tools that push pointer-remote interaction into the mainstream of the living-room platform — a direct tailwind for UWB pointing remotes.
01
Google TV + Android TV now reach 300M+ monthly active devices — the living room is a distinct, fast-growing app platform.
02
Pointer remotes bring motion-controlled input to the big screen, enabling far faster navigation across the Home page and inside content-heavy apps.
03
Google officially calls on developers to support pointer remotes: declare android.software.leanback.supports_touch and adapt hover states, scrollable containers and cursor clicks.
Why now

The D-pad era is ending. As remotes gain motion sensing, apps that only understand arrow keys will feel broken. Google is steering the whole ecosystem toward spatial, pointer-first interaction — and UWB is the best technology base for precise pointing.
Side-by-side
Chipsbank vs Other UWB vs SparkLink
Same pointing-remote UX — Chipsbank leads on RF chain, SoC integration, algorithms and production efficiency.
| Item | Chipsbank UWB remote | Other UWB remotes | SparkLink remote |
|---|---|---|---|
| RF chain | 1T3R | Mostly 1T1R or 1T2R | 1T1R |
| Antenna | RC2+TV3 | RC2+TV3 or RC2+TV1 | RC2+TV1, no position info |
| Chip cost | CMOS SoC, low cost | Multi-die, high cost | Non-SoC, low integration |
| AOA algorithm | ±1° accuracy across 90%+ user area; ±45° ELE / ±60° AZI working range | High accuracy at calibration points only; low ELE accuracy, narrow range | Low PDOA accuracy, even worse AOA |
| Fusion algorithm | Fusion algorithm included; matches HW hi/mid/lo sensitivity | Requires extra algorithm, poor experience | No position info, inaccurate pointing |
| Dev cycle | 3 months | Mostly 6+ months | 6+ months |
| Calibration | Single-point | Multi-point | Multi-point |
| Production | 300+ units/hour proven in mass production | — | — |
Reference architecture
Three ends working together: BLE pairing, UWB angle-of-arrival, IMU fusion and a Dongle backhaul.
Professional antenna design
Antenna performance is tightly coupled to mechanical structure. Chipsbank covers simulation, PCB / LDS antenna design, and production validation end to end.
- Dedicated antenna-simulation servers (2× Dell R7725) for design and EM co-simulation
- Direct PCB antenna design and output; LDS antennas guided with antenna-vendor partners
- TV receiver: 3-antenna PCB. Remote: 2-antenna LDS or PCB
- Anechoic chamber + turntable — full ±60° azimuth and ±45° elevation sweep
- PDOA matches final angle estimate; 100% of samples achieve an error below 5° after compensation
- 2D-AOA horizontal estimate compensated for elevation; AOA KPI = 100
Reference designs already in mass production
Both the TV receiver and the remote come with full reference designs, plus design-review and test support.
- Reference designs delivered (already in mass production)
- Design review and test support
- CMOS SoC integrates UWB + BLE + MCU — fewer parts, simpler layout
Pointing + radar fusion
One UWB receiver, two systems in one — precise pointing control, plus radar sensing of people’s presence and orientation.
Customer pain point
Today's setups need two separate systems — one for pointing, one for radar sensing. High cost, complex integration.
Product value
- Precise pointing remote mode
- Radar sensing mode also available, enabling smart sensing and control
- One receiver, two functions — lower cost
Put pointing control in your next product
From reference design and algorithm tuning to production tooling — one-stop delivery, mass production in as little as 3 months.
