I'm skeptical about all the claims and 60% less power consumption. Usually to get greater range, you need to up the power consumption. I'm not a bluetooth/electromagnetic spectrum expert though, so maybe they figured something out with the modulation or something.
Seems really light on details. I couldn't find anything searching around and find these numbers hard to believe. I feel like it'll be something like you can have 60% lower power OR this other claim but not all the claims at the same time.
Smells like marketing.
It depends on the bandwidth. And since it's digital transfer, some things can be changed, we're not talking directly about the analogic bandwidth/range ratio.
I've not read the article but the exchange protocol can be to blame
There's already different classes of BT. The common class used for most that is the 30 feet, another that's around 5 feet, and one that's like 200 feet.
But all of the claims seem farfetched. The range, power, and latency? Like they suddenly came up with all new tech that decimates BT that astoundingly? All while they're trying to BS themselves around about the tech ban not harming them?
Yeah, it's probably just BS.
