What You Need to Know About Amazon Sidewalk's Community Network

Amazon Sidewalk is a secure, free-to-connect community network that uses participating Amazon Sidewalk Bridges, such as compatible Amazon Echo and Ring devices, to provide cloud connectivity for IoT devices. Amazon Sidewalk’s highly encrypted technology leverages small portions of internet bandwidth from millions of these Sidewalk Bridges to provide widespread wireless connectivity to the community.

Endless Possibilities of Amazon Sidewalk Devices and Community Network

Amazon Sidewalk is now open for developers and innovators, the possibilities are endless. Innovative Amazon Sidewalk developers will create new devices and services that benefit the community, such as helping you locate lost items and extending the range of Amazon Sidewalk compatible smart devices. Sidewalk already covers more than 90% of the U.S. population and this is just the beginning.

LoRa: Powering Amazon Sidewalk

Understanding the Amazon Sidewalk Architecture and Its Benefits

One foundational technology powering Amazon Sidewalk is an ultra low-power, and extremely long-range wireless technology from Semtech, called LoRa which is part of the Amazon Sidewalk Architecture.   

The name LoRa comes from "long range", and LoRa is recognized as the de facto long range, low power wireless technology for smart IoT solutions in many industries already. LoRa-enabled devices with Amazon Sidewalk have long range and ultra-low power compared to other wireless technologies.  

LoRa Technology in Amazon Sidewalk's Community Network

Because LoRa operates at such long range, it enables devices to connect at a broader scale and longer distance than most other wireless technologies. With Amazon Sidewalk providing the infrastructure at scale, LoRa and Amazon Sidewalk provide developers and innovators with an amazing opportunity to create the next generation of sidewalk compatible wireless devices and use cases.

Amazon Sidewalk Developer Kits

LoRa and Amazon Sidewalk have opened up new opportunities for Sidewalk developers, allowing you to create a variety of low power, long-range IoT devices and enhancing the functionality and efficiency of IoT solutions. As an Amazon Sidewalk developer, you can enhance the functionality of compatible devices through the Amazon Sidewalk network. To help developers get started, we have created this guide showing developers how to quickly get up and running with LoRa on Nordic and Silicon Labs developer kits.

This guide will walk you through the prerequisites for both kits, step you through setting and an enabling LoRa, and then show you what you should expect from test results when bringing the developer kits up for the first time. By leveraging Amazon Sidewalk and LoRa you can create smart home IoT solutions that meet the needs of a connected world.

In addition to these developer kits, Amazon has created a Sidewalk test kit which can give you a picture of the real-world Amazon Sidewalk network coverage using LoRa wireless technology. You can see the Sidewalk Test Kit in action in the video below and read more about it on this blog post.
