What Happened: Amazon said that Tile, a service that locates misplaced items using Bluetooth technology, will join Amazon Sidewalk beginning June 14.

Amazon Sidewalk is Amazon’s Bluetooth network that helps to improve the connectivity of devices like the Ring and Amazon Echo.

The e-commerce giant noted that the partnership will enable compatible Amazon Echo and Ring devices to extend Tile's network coverage to help users locate their lost items.

Amazon noted that multiple Echo devices connected to Sidewalk will enable users to find misplaced items faster around the home.

Why It Matters: The partnership with Amazon Sidewalk will enable Tile to leverage Ring and Amazon Echo devices to bolster its network.

Apple said in April it is letting third-party companies use its “Find My” app so as to help users track missing items!
