telecontrol
Wireless device command
Telecontrol is control of a device or system from a distance, typically through electronic signals.
The term appears in technical contexts involving remote operation of machinery, vehicles, or industrial equipment: telecontrol systems for unmanned aircraft, telecontrol of power grid switches.
Less common than the near-synonym remote control.
