Seven questions about 360 routers

360 yesterday to a small number of interested in smart hardware to show the router's true machine, the 360 did not like children's hand ring that high-profile, Zhou personally platform shouting, talk about intelligent hardware "free era" arrival. Yes, it's just the product manager's cautious introduction, because there are many things that are not finalized, such as prices.

It is clear that there are several points that I would answer with seven questions:

1, 360 Why do the router?

Although 360 has moved out of the country to promote the information industry changes in the official rhetoric, but the most critical is the future of the router will be home information and data exchange hub, is the key node of Internet access, 360 to rob this portal.

So 360 for the future of the router positioning is 4 points: Home network portal, network firewall, Intelligent Device Control center, home data Center.

2, 360 routers who do?

This problem has to be said separately, designed and manufactured. The design of Shenzhen Industrial design team, has won the Red Dot Design award, hardware design is 360 from the beginning of last year to build their own hardware team.

Production is the choice of a Taiwan-listed foundry Enterprises, not Foxconn is also not Ying-da, we can guess, Heshuo, Compal, Guang da, and so on.

3. What is the system?

The pole route, millet all chooses the mature open source OpenWrt system as the foundation to transform, 360 how will do? 360 of routers are also based on Linux, but not open WRT, said to be developed in collaboration with another routing hardware vendor, but the company is not a former and 360 lei with the router.

360 gave the system the name "360 SOS", which integrates 360 security technology solutions and cloud killing engines. At the moment, security is one of the main selling points of Route 360.

4, how about the hardware configuration?

Now as long as you want to improve their product tuning, or talk about cost-effective, do not support 802.11AC standards are embarrassed, 360 routing is so, the polar route second-generation and millet router is this choice.

The 360 routers are Qualcomm's AR9344 chip scheme, with a frequency of 533MHz, 128MB RAM memory, support 802.11AC Standard, 2.4G and 5G two bands. The motherboard uses the Immersion Gold craft, more durable, the net mouth also adds the metal shielding cover.

Qualcomm's This chip scheme is a very mainstream AC chip, 360 do a good job is to increase the running memory to 128MB, so that can run some Linux applications is no problem.

5. How much will the price be sold?

To see the hardware configuration in the end, the price is not high, the key is to see prices. But the price of 360 is not right now, but listen to 360 routing market leaders said, according to their investigation of more than 200 yuan user enthusiasm is not high, although not explicitly, but it is obvious that 360 routers will not be priced in the final price of more than 200 yuan, otherwise, to and polar route of the second generation PK, also less some rhetoric.

But then again, Zhou has been advocating hardware for free, smart routers will also make a bold breakthrough, see the old week there is no such determination.

6, 360 How to do the router?

360 of the gene is still the Internet, portable WiFi is a very simple product, children's hand ring is mainly a beautiful technology in doing, not really in the hardware like a router more complex product 360 can do it?

This is also a question for me, so I want to see 360 in addition to the hardware configuration, the answer is that 360 developed a routing signal optimization engine named SDPI, as well as signal jamming technology based on the 2.4G band.

7. When will it be launched?

360 do the router for at least half a year, its core configuration before the Spring Festival I have seen some information. When was it launched? The new round of the router war has begun to diffuse.

The message is, another 10 days or so, that is, in early March, there will be a number of tests first out for the beta experience. So it must be late to go public.

To 360 this time treats the router the low-key, I am somewhat puzzled, the router in Zhou Heart is what status product? I asked a few 360 employees, and they said positively, "old Zhou did think it was a more important strategic product." "I think one of the big reasons for not doing this is that the topic of intelligent routing is not new and is hard to stir again, after a round of bombing."
