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.

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.
