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.

    But is the connection speed good and riable?

    Shitty pairing or random reconnect slowness/issues have been my #1 complaint about Bluetooth for, oh, 15 years. It’s only barely gotten better in all that time.

    What I want is an experience like wired connections, where I just plug it in. Then it works. Immediately. Every time.

    Even as quick/reliable as wifi would be ok.

    I don’t give a shit about things like speed. Just reliability and decent audio quality.
