AMAZON SIDEWALK NOW LEVER-AGES TILE Sidewalk, what now? I hear several of you cry. Sidewalk is Amazon's new mesh network the company announced back in September 2019. The network utilizes Bluetooth and Amazon smart-home devices to create a series of mini mesh networks that allow your devices to stay connected further away from your router. Devices could even stay online (up to half a mile depending on different factors) if your Wi-Fi goes down. Be under no illusions, the Sidewalk network is already incredibly precise - just like Apple's AirTag's are at finding things. With around 1.6 billion active Apple devices that are part of the Find My network, you'd expect Apple to be able to find pretty much anything on the Earth. Sounds great, right? Yes and no. There are downsides.
