Huawei launches Nearlink, a better than bluetooth competitor. The us won't benefit from it for now (newatlas.com)

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.

Pretty much all routers ISP give are 2.4 included so whether you want it or not you are surrounded by emissions at that frequency.

Mine from the ISP does wifi 6 over 5GHz... I still disabled the wifi in favour of a Unifi multi-AP config.

Even if you have skills and knowledge, people around you might not or simply don't care. I'd hazard a guess 2.4GHz spectrum is filled.
