What is Amazon Sidewalk?

Amazon Sidewalk is a shared network that helps devices work better both inside and outside the home by extending the range of low-bandwidth, low-power devices. It uses Bluetooth LowEnergy (BLE), 900 MHz spectrum, and other frequencies to connect compatible devices to the internet, even if they are far from the router. This ensures your smart water meter stays connected and functional in long distances, improving their reliability and coverage.

How does Amazon Sidewalk work?

Amazon Sidewalk works by creating a low-bandwidth network that leverages small portions of internet bandwidth from participating Amazon devices, like Echo speakers and Ring cameras, to create a shared, community-wide network. These devices act as “Sidewalk Bridges” by securely sharing their internet connection with nearby Sidewalk-enabled devices. This extended network allows these devices to stay connected even when they are outside the typical Wi-Fi range, ensuring continuous operation of features like device tracking and notifications. Data transmitted over Amazon Sidewalk is protected by multiple layers of encryption, ensuring privacy and security for users.
