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.

That seems pretty interesting mix of the performance of Wifi with the more multi-connection side of Bluetooth. I have yet to see what would support it (or even if there is a generic protocol for things like headset, game controller, screen, remote, media player, etc), but it seems to be the missing technology for wireless haptic feedback controller on PC.

(edit: yes, joycon can do it, but it’s a special case where they does not pass raw audio)
