Sidewalk leverages a Wi-Fi network to operate in the background. Instead of having the connectivity of your devices restricted to your front door, Sidewalk takes it farther—across your neighborhood.
The strength of the Sidewalk network is impacted by the number of connected devices. When more people in your neighborhood connect to the network, it becomes stronger.
There are two categories of Sidewalk devices—Sidewalk Bridges and Sidewalk-enabled devices. Sidewalk Bridges supply network connections to Sidewalk-enabled devices.
Sidewalk’s use is restricted to devices with low bandwidth. You can’t use the feature for activities requiring high bandwidth such as streaming.
Tracking Devices
Sidewalk helps you to keep devices around your home connected at all times and track their locations, giving you peace of mind. You can track your devices even when they are out of a Wi-Fi connection using the Sidewalk-enabled tracker, Tile.
Staying Connected
Protecting Your Privacy
In the end, the decision to use Sidewalk is yours to make.
