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.

    I would certainly love Bluetooth to be higher bandwidth, for things like high-fidelity audio.

    Currently Bluetooth pairing usually works quite well on almost all devices. Conversely, wifi-based pairing is mostly a disaster. So much that even respected brands can’t get it right.

      I sometimes control a high end camera through my phone. For basic controls it connects via Bluetooth but if you want live-shooting (you see what’s being captured on the phone) it switches to WiFi. It’s ALWAYS a massive pain in the ass, takes forever to connect, disconnects if the phone screen is off even just a few seconds, etc etc.
