Google announces update wifi routers for smart homes

Google has announced its own wireless network product, called Google Wifi for smart homes. With this new technology, users have to place a series of small, white devices around the home. Each device broadcasts a wireless network, while simultaneously interacting and communicating with one another to maximise network speed and coverage. It’s Network Assist that will monitor the movement of the device around the house.

A companion app will provide full access to the wireless network. Google Wi-Fi will be available for preorder in November, priced at $129 for one unit. A bundle of three, for those with a larger home, is priced at $299. Google Wi-Fi will begin shipping in December.
