14 DAY TRIAL // The Chinese can be really possessive and controlling of what is sold in their stores, which means that companies from other countries, in this case D-Link, sometimes need to collaborate with them and make joint products.
So here we are, beholding the Taipei, Taiwan-based D-Link 360Mini, a smart router that has antivirus software developed by Qihoo 360.
For those unaware, Qihoo 360 Technology is a China-based information security software solution provider.
In addition to WLAN wireless networking and antivirus capabilities, the product also boasts cloud software developed by D-Link itself.
The performance of wireless transmissions is 150 Mbps, as permitted by the 802.11n protocol.
China is still a fairly lucrative market for pretty much every tech company, so D-Link must want this new product to sell well there. I suppose we'll find out how things went at the end of the year.
