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.

[–] ink@r.nf 16 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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.

I hear you, and yet the CCP is it’s own special brand of shittiness, of which I cannot abide, or forgive.

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.

[–] offbyone@feddit.uk 11 points 1 year ago

While I get everyone's distrust of Huawei, Bluetooth is shit and I'd love a better replacement.

Here comes the tracking...

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't worry, NSA already tracks everything you do.

What if I'm not from the US
