Amazon will automatically enable a feature on its Echo speakers, Ring Video Doorbells, Ring Floodlight Cams, and Ring Spotlight Cams starting June 8. Amazon will register all compatible devices that are operational in the U.S. into an ambitious location-tracking system called Sidewalk. The idea is to co-opt millions of smart home devices into the network and provide near-ubiquitous connectivity out of the range of a standard Wi-Fi network. It achieves this by pooling together a small sliver of internet bandwidth from participating devices to create what’s a shared network.
