My understanding is tyhat the "dual-mesh" is comprised of two signal
repeating functions. One is that each unit repeats what it receives so
the signal is spread over the powerline and the other is that the access
points send and receive signals to each other via RF to inject the
signal into the powerline wherever they are thereby creating a dual mesh
of PLC and RF signal distribution.

While I have no experience with Z-wave, I did do a comparison of UPB and
Insteon and found that there were areas that UPB could not reach that
Insteon could but not vice versa. That, with the backward compatibility
with X10 PLC, led me to choose Insteon.
