谷歌推出OnHub智能路由器
Google is attempting to put itself at the centre ofdomestic wireless networks with a new “smart router that promises to improve WiFi qualityand security.
谷歌(Google)正力求讓自己置身于家庭無線網絡的中心。該公司發布了一款有望改善WiFi質量和安全性的新型“智能路由器。
OnHub’s launch comes weeks before Apple is expected to unveil its latest home technologydevice, with an update to its Apple TV set-top box that will act as a wireless “smart homehub. The launch also puts Google into competition with many cable companies which offertheir own home hubs for watching TV and getting online.
谷歌發布OnHub路由器，比外界預計蘋果(Apple)將推出其最新家庭技術設備的時間早了幾周——蘋果即將發布最新款的電視機頂盒Apple TV，可用作無線“智能家居中心。此次新品發布也使谷歌處于跟有線電視公司競爭的境地，許多有線電視公司也提供用于看電視和上網的家居中心。
The inclusion of Bluetooth and other methods of wireless connectivity means Google’s $200OnHub will be able to control the “internet of things inside the home as more consumers buyconnected peripherals such as wireless speakers, thermostats and security cameras.
谷歌定價200美元的OnHub路由器包含藍牙和其他無線連接技術，意味著它將能夠控制家庭內的“物聯網。如今，越來越多的消費者購買了無線音箱、恒溫器和監控攝像頭等可連接外設。
The project has been developed over the past two years by teams who worked on the Chromeoperating system and Google Access, the unit responsible for its superfast fibreoptic-basednetwork.
這個項目是由負責Chrome操作系統的多個團隊和Google Access歷時兩年聯合完成研發的。Google Access是谷歌旗下負責其超快速光纖網絡的部門。
Google has taken an Apple-like approach to designing OnHub, concealing the antennas thatusually protrude from a router inside a cylinder that can be customised with a range of coloursand patterns. Google has made other internal improvements to regular routers that it says willmake OnHub easier to manage and allow WiFi networks to run faster and over a wider area.
谷歌在OnHub設計上采用了類似蘋果的方法，把通常突出在路由器外面的天線隱藏到一個圓筒中，圓筒可以定制為不同顏色和樣式。谷歌還在其他方面對常規路由器進行了內部改進，并表示，這將使OnHub更便于管理，使WiFi網絡運行得更快，覆蓋到更廣范圍。
While OnHub will remain part of Google after the internet company becomes a subsidiary ofnew parent Alphabet, under a corporate shake-up announced by chief executive LarryPagelast week, no information about browsing or viewing behaviour will be used to tailor onlineadvertising, the company says.
谷歌表示，盡管OnHub在公司重組后仍將是谷歌的一部分，但用戶瀏覽或觀看行為的相關信息將不會被用于量身定做在線廣告。上周，谷歌首席執行官拉里槧奇(Larry Page)宣布了公司的重組方案，谷歌此后將成為新成立的母公司Alphabet的子公司。
The OnHub device may in time work with peripherals from Nest, the smart-home unit that willbecome a separate Alphabet subsidiary to Google.
OnHub以后或許會跟Nest的外設產品相互兼容。Nest這一智能家居部門將成為Alphabet旗下一家平行于谷歌的獨立子公司。
