Huawei launches Nearlink, a better than Bluetooth competitor

Huawei Nearlink launched, new wireless technology far ahead of Bluetooth

Compared to Bluetooth:

60% lower power consumption
Six times higher data transmission speed
1/30th the latency
7 dB improvement anti-interference for a more stable connection
Twice the coverage distance, and
10 times more network connections

US won't benefit from this tech due to the US Huawei ban.

At this point, China could release the free cure for ass cancer, and it would not be accepted in the west because of China = Scary noises
- Incidentally, US is importing cancer drugs from China because US companies don't find it profitable enough to produce them.
  
  Jesus Christ, it's real, haha
  
  Not really, the US makes their own, it’s just that demand has absolutely skyrocketed and there’s no way for current production to keep up. It takes years to set up the laboratories and factories needed. It makes sense to buy the deficit from China in the meantime.
Cant wait to have phones/headphones supporting it
- Americans won't allow it to enter their market so any product aiming to be sold in the US won't use it.
  
  They will own nothing and be happy. Oh and the stuff they can use will become steadily shitter and they will still be happy because to own the communists.
  
  Hope at least they sell this here in LatAm
Hopefully it's also not riddled with vulnerabilities. Bluetooth is really bad from a security pov.
- The S in IoT stands for security
  
  but there's no S in..oh
Maybe we'll have more then two audio channels now?

I feel like I need some concrete proof of this since these are some insane claims, and I’m not sure “consumer Huawei” and a Huawei press statement is a trustworthy source for verifying claims about Huawei products. It’s like believing Apple’s or Google’s marketing for their phones.
If this is real however, it’s an insane game changer.
- Bluetooth is very widespread but neither free to use nor an open standard. I can't find any real technical info on this new technology or any references to it being any more open than Bluetooth. So far this seems like another closed, proprietary technology by Huawei and "industry partners" so I honestly don't really care about it. This seems more like a move by Huawei to get away from having to pay licensing fees for Bluetooth without any benefits for users or the tech community as a whole.
It was originally called GreenTooth.
- The only thing green about it is the west with it's envy.
- RedTooth is gonna be the brain link that turns humanity into the communist hive mind (Xi's secret plan)
- Is the see see pee in the room with you right now?
- Acting like the us government doesn't backdoor into most devices and social media
- Based
- Has there ever been any incident where Huawei was illegally stealing information from foreigners and transmitting it to the Chinese government? Or is this another case of projection? "The Americans do it, so the Chinese do, too!".
