Google is developing the second-generation home device to support Wi-Fi network control
Google is thinking of taking a big step to compete with Amazon's Echo,
a version of its smart home appliance, Google Home, that comes bundled
with a Wi-Fi router, according to someone who has information about the
project.
The
competition between two companies, Alphabit and Amazon, is growing in
control of the smart home help market. The company released a new
Internet router along with its home smart device during its developers'
event last year. The information suggests that the company is currently
working on the next generation of its devices Integrates two functions together into one product.This step could help give Google's router extra points compared to
many similar wifi-enabled products on the market, and it helps the
company expand into the IoT, which is not surprising.Google Home works with Google Assistant, and is able to do things like
answer questions and orders through more than 50 retail stores and
control smart home appliances, and can communicate and chat through more
than 150 actions to make it easier for the user to do.The Google Assistant is available on the company's newer phones called
Pixel, and in the Allo chat app on Android devices powered by
Macmillone or Noga, and will soon be available on Android TV platforms.
The Wi-Fi router market today includes router manufacturers such as Linksys and Netgear, along with startups such as Plume and Eero. Google entered the market last December through Google Wifi.Last week, Samsung introduced Wi-Fi wireless router system during its announcement of its flagship Galaxy S8 and its introduction to the Bixby smart audio player, which is expected to be integrated into other Samsung smartphones.
