NearLink launches, 6X faster than Bluetooth, with 1/30th the latency
newatlas.com
Huawei has launched a breakthrough short-range wireless connection tech, aiming to combine the advantages of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Faster, more efficient and with a vastly reduced delay, it's also got more than 300 companies and institutions on board.

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.

    Exactly. The important stuff is the stability of connection, even in a train where everyone uses it.

      I’m not sure it’s always the only thing people want. Yes stability is needed, even more when a lot of people are using it.

      But currently headsets are heavily missing (very) high quality wireless audio and mic at the same time. Maybe this tech could push towards that.
