Huawei launches Nearlink, a better than Bluetooth competitor
Today, Huawei officially launched a new generation of short-range wireless connection technology – NearLink. This technology brings together the collective collaboration of more than 300 leading enterprises and institutions at home and abroad. I
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.
This sounds like it's proprietary. If it is, I doubt anyone will adopt it.
then I hope it never goes mainstream.
Wow, does this require a special chip on the device I assume? Would it use the same broadcasting hardware?
I'm guessing this would require a new specialized chip.
Plus 10x more Chinese State control and monitoring.
Companies based in China can, in fact, develop real technology. The US engages in more espionage thsn anyone, but that doesnt mean US companies can't develop real tech.
There are real people and real innovations being made in China and it's so wrong to just summarily dismiss them because they happen to live in a world power that does what all world powers do.
So weird how people living under western regimes are more concerned about Chinese state control and monitoring than their own. If you live in a western country then your concern is that any western piece of technology is controlled and monitored by the NSA. But that's just too complex an idea for you to wrap your head around I guess. Screeching China bad is your peak intellectual ability clearly.
Why is that weird? Western governments are generally bound by constitutional agreements to not utilize that information against their citizens. That's not to say they don't do shady stuff with that information, but getting "disappeared" is more the butt of a Hillary Clinton joke than it is an actual reality for Western citizens ... unless you've really REALLY pissed off Hillary Clinton.
If you look at the age of Bluetooth and the fact that this new Technology has no Legacy and compatible Limitations this is not surprising at all. Probably not even feature complete with Bluetooth.
While I get everyone's distrust of Huawei, Bluetooth is shit and I'd love a better replacement.
