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.

So basically like a compromise between wifi & bluetooth?

The thing is, people using bluetooth is not looking for raw performance. When they more performance, they'd go with wifi. Wifi data transfer is a thing.

Last but not least, it's Huawei...

Edit: Regardless of the privacy & security stuff, Huawei is known for coming up with a bunch of empty gimmicks (see: Harmony OS).
