China is developing its own alternatives to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
22.12.24
China has approved a new universal wireless protocol called Star Flash, which promises to simplify device management and strengthen the country’s technological independence, The Register reports. The move could have a significant impact on the global technology market.
What is Star Flash?
Star Flash is a wireless standard created by the SparkLink Alliance consortium, which includes major companies such as Huawei.
- Supports Bluetooth, infrared control and the Star Flash standard.
- Low power consumption.
- Connects to multiple devices at the same time.
- High-quality lossless stereo sound.
The protocol is positioned as an alternative and improvement to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Applications and prospects
The new standard requires that universal remotes can:
- Work with voice commands.
- Automatically identify devices to connect to, making setup easier.
The first Star Flash-enabled TV has already been introduced by Konka, and the technology is likely to quickly find application in other smart home devices.
Chinese authorities are actively promoting the standard, planning to implement it in millions of devices by 2025. This will provide manufacturers with significant scale for development and investment in the technology.
Strategic significance
The implementation of Star Flash meets several key goals for China:
- Technological self-sufficiency: Reducing dependence on foreign standards such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
- Global impact: Promoting domestic technologies outside of China.
- Competition: Strengthening the position of Huawei and other Chinese companies in the global market.
Universal remote controls with Star Flash support can significantly simplify interaction with household appliances and smart home devices.
Star Flash is a step by China to create its own technological standards that could change the balance of power in the wireless technology market.
