FAQ
What is Modena?
Modena™ is the only Wireless Meetings System that allows all participants a true cable-free content sharing and interaction with the room AV equipment.
With Modena, any laptop, tablet or mobile device can share screen on the room display. Modena also sends the shared content to the personal device, providing a more natural and comfortable meeting experience.
Participants can just walk into the meeting with their laptop, comfortably sit anywhere they like and use their videoconference software and the room AV equipment without having to connect a single cable.
Wireless sharing: efficient and comfortable presentations without HDMI cables, adaptors or dongles. Any participant can use a laptop, tablet or mobile device and share screen on the room display.
Wireless USB: the unique experience of using your soft codec with the room AV equipment without a single cable. Connect the AV devices to the Modena and enable any participant to wirelessly receive its AV streams for a videoconference session. Use any VC soft codec on your laptop and start the meeting without changing workflow.

How does Modena guarantee security and privacy?
Modena enforces security through a number of features:
A Secure Boot system blocks any access to the unit firmware. Modena One implements a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) secure boot protocol, which secures the boot process by preventing the loading of drivers or OS loaders that are not signed with the Biamp digital signature. This architecture protects the unit against the installation and execution of malware. The secure boot implementation is based on technologies included in the Linux4Tegra OS (Ubuntu 14.4) with Linux_kernel 3.0.0.
When using Modena One+ as an access point, a personal area network is created utilizing WPA2 PSK technology to guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of wireless traffic.
The privacy of your team collaboration is protected by a passcode, a 4-digits random number generated every time a new session starts. Every participant must type in the passcode to join the room.
All the video and audio streams between Modena One and the connected clients are encrypted with the AES-128 algorithm. This prevents ill-intentioned people from using a network sniffer tool to sniffs out the data flowing over your computer network between HHO and its clients.
