In terms of the timeline of events, it features NearLink technology and offers a NearLink esports dedicated link function, supporting direct connection with Huawei phones/tablets. Compared with traditional WiFi, it can reduce game network lag rates. IT之家 noted that devices including the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 2023 have received the HarmonyOS 7.0.0.111 SP16 update, which brings the NearLink esports dedicated link function — supporting the establishment of a dedicated connection with Huawei routers that have NearLink esports dedicated link capabilities, based on NearLink connection technology, improving the smoothness and stability of gaming. For reference, Huawei's official website shows that the MatePad Pro 13.2 2023 supports NearLink E1.0, which means more first-generation NearLink devices will also support this new feature. Public information also notes: It should be noted that NearLink connections are bound to WiFi connections (that is, a NearLink connection can only be established with the router corresponding to the connected WiFi). When not connected to WiFi, a NearLink phone cannot connect to a NearLink router. Further reading: NearLink is a new-generation wireless short-range communication technology independently innovated by China, focused on reshaping smooth and stable device connection experiences, with features such as low latency, high concurrency, high reliability, and interference resistance. Its leading organization is the International NearLink Alliance (full name: International NearLink Alliance Wireless Short-Range Communication Alliance), which was established in September 2020 and is composed of industry institutions, universities and research institutes, and units in various fields such as chips, complete vehicles, mobile phone terminals, and home appliances. In May 2023, it obtained a social organization legal person registration certificate issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and officially became an international industry and standards organization. Regarding the NearLink versions mentioned in the article, according to Huawei's official website, NearLink E1.0 focuses on "discoverable, connectable," ensuring "interconnection and interoperability" between devices. Typical applications include NearLink mice, NearLink styluses, NearLink game controllers, NearLink water cups, and more. Follow-up points to watch include: NearLink E2.0 corresponds to "NearLink Audio," which, building on E1.0 (NearLink connectivity), adds optimization solutions, protocols, and codecs specially designed to improve sound quality and audio experience, making audio transmission more efficient and clearer, such as earphone products including the FreeBuds series and FreeClip 2. The Huawei Lingxiao Parent-Child Router Q7 Powerline Edition was released on June 1, 2026, at the Huawei nova 16 series and all-scenario new product launch event held in Chengdu. According to specifications on Huawei's official website, the router supports third-generation Lingxiao PLC networking, Wi-Fi 7+, dual-band seamless roaming, Lingxi Dual Wi-Fi, NearLink esports dedicated link, and NearLink Bluetooth dual-mode gateway functions. The parent router's total theoretical wireless rate is 3570 Mbps.
