Google’s “Mystery Gadget” Passes FCC

FCC filings are a great source of information for OEMs to see what’s coming up, but some of them never see the light of day. Google seems to have gone through a mysterious new “wireless streaming device”, and speculation has begun as the details are sparse. Some believe it’s a new Chromecast model, while others say it’s added to the newly announced Nest camera and doorbell. In any case, if they start releasing it, we’ll probably know what it is in a few months.

Android police believe Due to the timing of submission, this is a new Chromecast model. The Chromecast with Google TV, announced at the end of last year, actually passed the FCC in the same month. At that time, it was listed as an “interactive media streaming device”. This time, you’ll see a “wireless streaming device” that doesn’t really say anything. I only have the FCC ID and model number GJQ9T, and I don’t really know what kind of device it is.

9 to 5 Google The word streaming, on the other hand, doesn’t really mean media streaming of music, movies, or games, so I don’t think it’s a Chromecast device. You can browse videos sent from one device to another over the Internet or your local network. He also noted that on the same day that this FCC list was displayed, Google announced new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cam devices. Four devices were launched, but there were only three FCC-related lists for approval.

The current FCC submission is similar to the submission made in March last year, except that the new one does not mention the battery. So they conclude that this is just one part of the Nest Cameras lineup later this year. Ships later than the battery-powered Nest Cam and Nest Doorbell are either Nest Cam (wired) or Nest Blood Light Lighting. This means that new Chromecaast devices may not yet be available.

Hopefully, we’ll learn more about this “mystery device” in the coming months, especially when other Nest devices start shipping. When you get a new Chromecast device, some users want it to have more processing power and storage than the current Chromecaast with Google TV.
