Product Overview
Una is an intelligent self managing dual band, dual concurrent, MU-MIMO, 2x2 802.11n and 2x2
802.11ac Wave 2 meshed wireless distributed networking system. It has been designed and built
around a Qualcomm Quad-core SOC ARM Cortex A7 CPU with 256 MB of DDR3 memory.
Una’s whole-home Wi-Fi system use multiple router-like nodes, to spread the Wi-Fi signal
throughout the home. This results in greater coverage, faster speeds and a more reliable
connection.
Una’s Mesh Wi-Fi system consist of two or more Una’s (typically 1 x Una per floor) that work
together in order to blanket your house in Wi-Fi. Una’s meshed Wi-Fi system creates a new Wi-
Fi network, separate from your current router’s Wi-Fi.
Despite having multiple Una’s with multiple Wi-Fi signals, the mesh system unifies your Wi-Fi
connections into one network name (known as an SSID). So, no matter where you are in your
home, you’ll only ever see one Wi-Fi network name.
Una’s system will also take care of determining which signal is best for your devices to connect
to. So, as you roam around your home, not only do you not have to worry about changing your
Wi-Fi login from zone to zone, but you can be safe in knowing that the system has connected
your device to the fastest possible Wi-Fi signal.
Una’s dynamic band steering and multi-node coordination determines the best possible Wi-Fi
connection and optimal performance for each attached device. Una optimizes network capacity
by reducing network congestion and auto-selecting the fastest available connection for each
device. Una knows which devices are connected and autonomously manages those connections
by forwarding traffic to the appropriate Una or frequency band depending on the type of content
and distance from Una. Seamless roaming ensures that the appropriate bandwidth is available
when and where it’s needed, whether it’s transferring a file, streaming UHD/4K video or web
browsing.
Una provides ultra-reliable coverage and performance, due to its use of G.hn Powerline backhaul
as the communication backbone between meshed Una’s and the Internet router. User data and
communications between Una’s occurs over the electrical power lines in order to provide the best
coverage possible to all of your devices. Una’s Powerline backhaul technology overcomes the
coverage limitations of conventional wireless meshed network systems which use separate
wireless radios to communicate between other meshed Wi-Fi nodes.
The integration of Wi-Fi and Powerline backhaul working in unison provides better Wi-Fi and
Ethernet coverage for the whole home.
