Tyro Remotes History

Tyro Remotes produces professional radio remote controls for the industry, the automotive sector, the agricultural and the maritime sector.

History of Tyro Remotes
By seeing the advantages of radio remote controls for the market, in 1995 a start was made on the development of a professional radio remote control for the automotive sector. At the time three other companies were involved: Tijhof, Rolego and Linse. The owner of Linse, the VADO group, became the owner and the other two contributed their know-how and two letters each leading to the name Tyro.

For years the research and development continued and in the end a unique and very flexible radio remote control was presented to the market.

Safety Certification
The European requirements in the area of radio remote controls were made a lot stricter and in 2002 Tyro was the first company in its sector in Europe that could present E11 certified remote controls to the market that furthermore had a reaction speed of 0.07 sec.

In 2004, the company Tyro Products B.V decided to continue with Tyro Remotes as one of the four segments of the company. In 2005, the first IP68 receiver was presented to the world. In addition to that Tyro Remotes has already for many years a PLC that it developed itself.

Presently, Tyro Remotes develops and produces only radio remote controls for the professional market. In addition to all the features and specifications, the products are also E11 certified, which gives them a major edge over the competition. The products are currently sold in Europe.

History of the radio remote control
Robert Adler can be called as the inventor of the remote control. Adler, who died in 2007 at the age of 93, worked at a television set manufacturer Zenith during the nineteen fifties, which introduced the device that worked on the basis of ultrasonic sound.

Due to the invention of the remote control, the viewing habits of the television viewers got changed considerably as they discovered the new trend of 'zapping’. The American company Philco was already producing a wireless remote control for radio before 1939, that could adjust both the volume and the transmitter remotely.
