Google is preparing to release a wireless set-top box for the new generation of ultra-HD “4K” TVs, even as the company drastically scales back its high-speed internet and TV Google Fiber efforts.
Recent filings with the FCC reveal that Google has received authorization to bring to market a “4K wireless TV box.”
The filings are short on details, but note that the device includes WiFi capabilities, operating on the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands. That would mark the first time that a Google Fiber TV set-top box offers wireless capabilities, which should allow a consumer to put the box and TV anywhere in their house.
