Huawei launches Nearlink, a better than bluetooth competitor. The us won't benefit from it for now (newatlas.com)

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

Notice it's not talking of compression yet, but raw connection performance.

Due to the US Huawei ban, the tech won't arrive to the US yet. Nor maybe ever until something is done.

Well for it to get a chance in the US where the other side of big tech is, it would need to be sold to another company than Huawei, or for the US to relax the ban.

I have no idea why the US banned Huawei so intensely other than blocking competition from China.
