Satechi Launches New Bluetooth Remote for Everything

If theres one thing that could be said about Apples current product line, its that most of them play together pretty well. But theres at least one notable exception - the Apple Remote. While the slimline remote lets users control a Mac or Apple TV at a distance, Apples iOS devices are a different matter. Mobile accessories manufacturer Satechi has provided a solution with its new BT Media Remote for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

Because the Apple Remote relies on that old remote control standard, infrared, and iOS devices dont pack an infrared sensor, Satechi has employed Bluetooth to allow its BT Media Remote to control multimedia playback on an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. Like the PlayStation 3 controllers and Wiimotes, the BT Media Remote relies on the Human Interface Device (HID) Bluetooth profile, which provides a low latency link with low power requirements. Its two CR-2025 coin batteries should provide power for up to six months.

The device allows for wireless control of an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad on those occasions when there might be a little distance between you and your iOS device, such as when it is connected to a TV, docking station or car stereo. From distances of up to 33 ft (10 m), users can play, pause, skip, rewind, mute or adjust the volume of music or video. The remote can also be used to remotely trigger the camera app to take a photo or to activate Siri on an iPhone 4S.

And being a Bluetooth device, the remote is also compatible with Macs, meaning it can also be used to control Keynote presentations on a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, MacBook, or Mac Mini.

The Satechi BT Media Remote is available now for US$39.99.

Satechi BT Media Remote fills the iOS device remote control gap

IRVINE, Calif., May 21, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HID Global, trusted leader in solutions for the delivery of secure identity, today announced that the company's pivCLASS(R) readers and authentication systems have achieved compliance with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Evaluation Program for certifying that products meet Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201 federal identity specifications. The products are the industry's most complete solution to enable FIPS 201 compliance without having to replace existing access control systems, and the first to be certified for validation services both during registration or enrollment and at the door or other access point.

"HID Global's pivCLASS suite of products is the first fully integrated and government-approved FIPS 201 compliance solution on the market from a single supplier," said Dr. Bob Dulude, director, Federal Identity Initiative with HID Global. "Now certified by the GSA for use in reading, validating and authenticating FIPS 201 credentials, our pivCLASS solutions enable U.S. federal government agencies and contractors to substantially reduce the cost and complexity of complying with federal identity standards while also significantly improving interoperability and security."

pivCLASS solutions enable customers to streamline and simplify FIPS 201 compliance for a physical access control system (PACS) by simply deploying: pivCLASS readers; pivCLASS authentication modules between the readers and the existing PACS panel; and a validation server for centralized management and control of system components. The resulting solution performs FIPS 201 authentication steps for all National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-defined assurance levels, from the time of enrollment to the time of access. The pivCLASS suite supports PKI-at-the-door mandates and PIV-I and CIV (also known as PIV-C) requirements for cards issued by non-federal entities, as well as the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC).

pivCLASS products that now appear on the GSA Approved Product List include the company's array of pivCLASS readers, Cardholder Unique Identifier (CHUID) authentication system, Card Authentication Key (CAK) authentication system, and PIV + PIN authentication system. Each system consists of HID Global pivCLASS readers, validation server software, and authentication modules, and provides FIPS 201 validation services for PIV, PIV-I, CIV, CAC, TWIC and First Responder Authentication Card (FRAC) card holders to prove they are who they claim to be.

HID Global's pivCLASS solutions portfolio is available now. Click here for more information.
