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.

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.
