Company to Retain Ownership of Harmony Remote Product Line
NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) today announced the expansion of its
universal remote control lineup with the Logitech®
Harmony Ultimate Hub, an appcessory for consolidating all of your
remote controls into one simple smartphone app, giving you personalized
control of up to eight devices from anywhere in the house, using the
smartphone you already own. The hub has previously been offered as part
of the Logitech Harmony® Ultimate and Logitech Harmony® Smart Control
products, and will be a standalone product for customers who prefer to
control their digital experience with just a smartphone.
Logitech also announced that it plans to retain ownership of its Harmony
remote product line. The company has determined that retaining ownership
is in the best interest of its shareholders. The Harmony product line
has gained momentum following the April introduction of the Harmony
Ultimate product, which is available in major retail locations including
select Apple stores in the U.S., and has exceeded the company's
expectations for customer connections.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech Harmony Ultimate Hub is expected to be available in the
U.S. and Europe in August 2013, for a suggested retail price of $99.99
in the U.S. For more information, please visit www.logitech.com
