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.

At this point, China could release the free cure for ass cancer, and it would not be accepted in the west because of China = Scary noises

Incidentally, US is importing cancer drugs from China because US companies don't find it profitable enough to produce them.

Jesus Christ, it's real, haha

Not really, the US makes their own, it’s just that demand has absolutely skyrocketed and there’s no way for current production to keep up. It takes years to set up the laboratories and factories needed. It makes sense to buy the deficit from China in the meantime.

The problem isn't that demand somehow skyrocketed overnight, it's that companies want to keep prices up https://hbr.org/2017/04/how-pharma-companies-game-the-system-to-keep-drugs-expensive

Oh, I’m not saying you’re wrong. You’re absolutely right, but I was just saying that even if for example the entire industry was nationalized, it would take years to meet the current demand due to cancer rates going through the roof.

Yeah that's a good point.

Cant wait to have phones/headphones supporting it

Americans won't allow it to enter their market so any product aiming to be sold in the US won't use it.

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 2 years ago

They will own nothing and be happy. Oh and the stuff they can use will become steadily shitter and they will still be happy because to own the communists.

Hope at least they sell this here in LatAm

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

The S in IoT stands for security

I feel like I need some concrete proof of this since these are some insane claims, and I’m not sure “consumer Huawei” and a Huawei press statement is a trustworthy source for verifying claims about Huawei products. It’s like believing Apple’s or Google’s marketing for their phones.

If this is real however, it’s an insane game changer.

Bluetooth is very widespread but neither free to use nor an open standard. I can't find any real technical info on this new technology or any references to it being any more open than Bluetooth. So far this seems like another closed, proprietary technology by Huawei and "industry partners" so I honestly don't really care about it. This seems more like a move by Huawei to get away from having to pay licensing fees for Bluetooth without any benefits for users or the tech community as a whole.

It was originally called GreenTooth.

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 2 years ago

The only thing green about it is the west with it's envy.

[–] lil_tank@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 years ago

RedTooth is gonna be the brain link that turns humanity into the communist hive mind (Xi's secret plan)
