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

US won't benefit from this tech due to the US Huawei ban.

Hopefully it's also not riddled with vulnerabilities. Bluetooth is really bad from a security pov.
