Together, the four products demonstrated how GL.iNet is expanding secure connectivity beyond conventional routers into accessible remote support and traveler-focused privacy solutions.

Comet Q Makes Remote Family Tech Support More Accessible

Comet Q (GL-RMQ1), GL.iNet's palm-sized all-in-one USB-C remote KVM, was named a winner in the Best in Tech for Good & Accessibility category. Through a single USB-C connection, Comet Q enables users to remotely view and control compatible smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

At the IFA Innovation Awards ceremony, IFA Innovation Awards jury member Eliane Fiolet, a French journalist and co-founder and editor of Ubergizmo, praised Comet Q: "Its simple plug-and-play design enables younger family members to remotely support older relatives and help them navigate the digital world more easily." Her remarks underscored what makes Comet Q different: it lets helpers see the same screen, take action directly, and reduce the frustration of explaining steps over the phone.

Umino Travel Cam T1 Brings Personal Privacy Protection to Modern Travel

At IFA 2026, GL.iNet showcased the Umino Travel Cam T1 (UM-T1), a travel security monitor designed to help travelers better protect their personal privacy in unfamiliar accommodations.

The device received an especially positive response from European visitors, particularly those taking extended holidays and staying across multiple accommodations. They appreciated that it requires neither complicated configuration nor recurring subscription fees, making it accessible even to travelers without advanced technical knowledge. Its portable design and straightforward setup offer travelers a practical way to assess privacy risks whenever they arrive in a new environment.

Mango 2 Makes Personal Wi-Fi Easy to Carry

Mango 2 (GL-MG1300) attracted longtime users of the original Mango, many of whom expressed excitement about the evolution of the compact travel router. Visitors unfamiliar with travel routers were also eager to experience the convenience of creating a personal Wi-Fi network while traveling.

Measuring 89 x 63 x 15 mm and weighing 100 grams, Mango 2 features dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, easy captive-portal login for hotel Wi-Fi, USB tethering, VPN policy routing, and built-in VPN support. It is powered by USB-C at 5V/2A, which helps simplify travel charging.

Mudi 7 (GL-E5800), Slate 7 Pro (GL-BE10000), and Flint 4 (GL-BE14000) drew strong interest from journalists, technology reviewers, and content creators, who explored how each product addresses different connectivity needs.

Mudi 7 combines 5G NR and tri-band Wi-Fi 7 support with eSIM, dual-SIM dual-standby capability, and a built-in battery for connectivity on the move. Slate 7 Pro offers tri-band Wi-Fi 7, dual 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports, and high-speed VPN performance in a portable design. Flint 4 extends the lineup into home and business environments with BE14000 Wi-Fi 7, 10G SFP+ and 10GE connectivity, and VPN speeds of up to 1.5 Gbps.

Building Technology Around Real Needs

IFA 2026 reinforced a simple message for GL.iNet: meaningful innovation starts with real use cases. From staying connected while traveling to protecting personal privacy and helping family members solve technical problems remotely, the strongest ideas are the ones that make everyday connected life easier to manage.
