An Enterprise Network - As IT Should Be.
The challenge of creating a seamlessly integrated custom home is greater than ever. From pre-wire to trim, installation and programming every step is crucial for the ultimate success of a project. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity as today’s custom integrators become the digital centerpiece of the construction project. As more devices become automated and sub-contractors become integrated, this trend will only continue to grow. Since 2003 Access Networks has worked directly in large automated environments, resolving the many networking issues integrators experience on a daily basis. With more than twenty Cisco Systems certifications, partnerships with leading automation manufacturers like Creston and Savant, and years of experience, the company has developed the Access Unity Network℠ to address the needs of the custom integration market.

How IT Benefits You
The Access Unity Network℠ is an enterprise-grade, plug-and-play unified home networking solution specifically engineered for the automated home. The Access Unity Network℠ is pre-programmed, easy to install and compatible with all automation systems, AV equipment and consumer devices. Recognizing the integration community’s continued interest in providing value-added services for their clients, every Access Unity Network℠ includes access to ISP-level remote monitoring and management services. These services provide integrators with a suite of remote diagnostic tools and real-time system analytics, which allow them to avoid costly service calls for common issues such as passphrase adjustments and other value-added services.

Every Access Unity Network℠ arrives fully programmed and engineered with the following features and benefits:

Full Property Wireless Coverage
Making use of the most powerful wireless technology on the market, the Access Unity Network℠ provides a secure wireless connection throughout your client's entire property. Now your client can surf the web poolside or control the AV system from the farthest corner of their backyard, no matter how large their property.

Guest Access
Similar to sophisticated hotel networks, a Guest Network provides guests in your client's home with high speed wireless Internet access without sacrificing their privacy and security. Visitors can connect to the Internet using their own laptops, yet they will be unable to see or interact with any other computers on the network.

Enhanced Security and Privacy
To protect the privacy of your client's data, the Access Unity Network℠ can be partitioned into several completely separate networks, or Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs). Using a single set of equipment, these VLANs can separate the home office, family computers, AV Systems, and Guest Network, keeping your client's office and private information secure from other users in their home.

Secure Remote Connections
Whether accessing home computer files from the office or monitoring security cameras while on vacation, your client can manage their entire network remotely via the Internet. In addition, by providing vendors and technicians with secure remote access to monitor systems or troubleshoot issues, you can dramatically reduce response time and in many cases eliminate service calls.

No Dropped Signals
The Access Unity Network℠ automatically prioritizes traffic to certain parts of the network to ensure sure that the connection is never interrupted. Voice and video applications, for example, can receive priority so that video conferences are never interrupted no matter how many songs or movies someone is downloading on another part of the network. Additionally, roaming devices such as laptops or handheld touch screens are seamlessly “handed-off” from one access point to another, keeping your client connected as they move throughout their property.

Automated Network Management
At the core of every Access Unity Network℠ is the Wireless Controller, which monitors every aspect of the network at all times and automatically manages the bandwidth consumption by the various systems in the home. It’s like an air traffic control tower for the network, optimizing traffic flow, adjusting radio strength and dynamically changing wireless channels so network performance is always at its peak.
