Can routers be a breakthrough for smart devices?

The 15th stage: Mobile trader--Can the router become the breakthrough of intelligent equipment? "TechWeb Report" Today's routers have been freed from the single function of the network, whether from the form or function have been greatly enriched and improved. With the advent of the word "intelligent routing", this small box seems to have been given a new mission and magic. In the "New route era" of the inspiration, the major internet companies have reached the hardware market: Shanda, 360, Baidu, polar route, and even millet also burst their new toy "millet router" will be listed on December 19 news. These actions are certainly not coincidental, what are the major companies vying for the router market? And today's routers can become a breakthrough in smart devices? Routers are also "smart" with the word "smart" fiery, it seems that the replacement of products are the word to occupy a side, so as to highlight the attitude of the Times, to meet the society into the "intelligent age" of the big environment. Of course, as a "rebirth" of the router is also inevitable. After a humorous opening of the name, the polar route partner and marketing director Ding us about the pioneering process and brand concept of the pole route. The initial start-up partners focused on the domestic fruit powder, because the App Store central server in the United States is a painful thing for the vast majority of users in mainland China, unable to stirring the iphone, the ipad's new application experience, Often because of downloading an application waiting for a long time, or even an hour. It is with this opportunity that the hit small partners are thinking of making an accelerated router to help improve the download speed of the fruit powder. But the problem of slow application downloading has also been taken seriously by Apple, so Apple has added servers in China to solve the problem of slow download applications. But at this time the pole route is silly eye, have the first crisis consciousness. "The selling point of the product cannot be placed on the weaknesses of other products," Ding said. Through this little mistake, the polar route transforms the mind. A group of entrepreneurs with the concept of geeks see a larger platform for the development of routers. This time, it can be said that the pole route succeeded. Because it pioneered a new era of wireless routers. It is called "intelligent routing" because it is not simply a router. Remove "good signal" "Internet fast" and other conventional functions, the pole route has added an intelligent system, including the "Security", "mobile phone remote Control" "Configuration Simple" "function extension" "to advertising" and so on. The initiation of this idea is based on "internet thinking". Under the influence of this kind of thinking, the pole route opens the similar pattern with millet company, relies on the social network and the media to understand the user demand in the early stage, will need to perfect in the hardware equipment, plus the later can add value service, cleverly will the software, the hardware and the service union. This is the typical pattern of internet companies ' involvement in the hardware world. When it comes to the marketing of polar routes, Ding said: "You can't open the market with a simple intelligent concept, but with the oldProduct contrast to highlight the intelligence. "The appearance of the pole route is no longer placed in the corner of the small box to meet the ash, it can also multicolored, coupled with the built-in Hiwifi system, optimized the operation of the way, abandoned those" anti-human "settings interface. It is worth mentioning that the pole route in the promotion of speed and "go to the advertising" function has been widely recognized. In the eyes of game companies and users who have the ultimate pursuit of speed, this will be the most brilliant place for future pole routing. We have all seen the effort of pole routing. It is precisely because of their efforts to enable us to regain the hidden in the corner of the small box is also a potential magic, it can be said that the pole route allows us to have a new understanding of the router, it is this understanding, with us to open the "smart router" era. Small degree accessibility If small companies do hardware is to profit, then like Baidu big companies seem to be a little "in the fun" suspicion. But when it comes to the term "big company," Yue, the head of the "small Three Musketeers", said slightly shyly: "We are not a big company, we are entrepreneurs in hardware." "Perhaps it is with this kind of people-friendly attitude, the small three musketeers, whether from the name or function is to walk the approachable route." Small-scale WiFi, small-scale routing, and small-scale shadow sticks make up a small accessibility family. And this family's mission is to Baidu core competitiveness as the center, through the hardware equipment to play its own advantages, so as to better serve users. In the event we also learned that at the end of November or early December, Baidu will add a new member for the accessibility. And about the new members of the detailed information, Yue did not talk about, but sold a sentence, left a: please look forward to. Whether the upcoming debut of the new members or Baidu involved in the hardware market, all attracted the people of the speculation. Why would a big guy in the internet have a stake in the router market? Is it really just for the fun? Of course, the answer can only be left to time to prove, but I think, perhaps Baidu is also a fancy "intelligent route" the future development, so in the market preheating period began to set the layout. From Baidu itself, the promotion of hardware is not difficult, after all, in the field of Internet its position can not be shaken. And the reason why choose router This hardware, is to fancy this small box can for future enter "intelligent home" aspect opens the entrance. Behind this entrance is a larger smart market. Or perhaps Baidu hopes to be able to use its own search advantages to play in the hardware, the combination of hardware and software is catering to the development of Internet companies today. Scientific Internet or science break up the appearance of the third guest puts forward an interesting concept--science breaks the net. In the private have to Google put forward the "scientific Internet" point of praise, Baidu Mobile cloud division chief evangelist, Baidu Cloud Ecology department head Zhang but reverse the proposed scientific network, of course, this concept is not fabricated. Throw away the theory, PPT, product, Zhang first to us is three scenes, each scene is the story of personal experience, and these stories seem to be revealing a message: Intelligent integration needs "cloud" to play a better role. As today's theme, smart routers, how do you really smart? In addition to hardware improvements, software upgrades, but also to have a "cloud" of the combination. Zhang said, as users of the Internet needs more and more high, not only speed up, in storage to work hard to reflect the intelligence. Therefore, the "cloud" to join is really "smart". Then he throws up a new question like we: why are we talking about routers today? To take his last view, routers become a carrier to connect users to the cloud. And this carrier, not only the router can play, therefore, it is not the router itself, but it is responsible for the responsibility and its location. Talking about the understanding of the word "intelligence", Zhang only said six words: perception, connection, contact. In these three links, he emphasized the "connection". Through the connection, can realize the process of interaction, it is the process has the experience, and then the results. "The revolution is not expected, it is the outbreak of" This is the Zhang of the future of the intelligent age view.
