At some point in the near future Amazon<\/a> plans to introduce a new feature to their smart devices (Echo, Echo Show, Ring etc.) called ‘Sidewalk<\/em>‘, which by default will create a new wireless network – this has access to both your broadband ISP connection and that of your neighbour’s (if they have similar kit) – to improve connectivity.<\/p>\n

At present this “free<\/em>” feature is in the process of launching in the US, although at some point it’s expected to come to the UK too. Sidewalk<\/strong> creates a separate, albeit shared, network – with “multiple layers of encryption<\/em>” – that is designed to improve the connection between Amazon<\/a>’s smart devices and to also extend their range. As part of that the new network can also work with supported devices in close proximity to your own, even if they aren’t owned by you (e.g. neighbours).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Some older Amazon kit will not be able to work with Sidewalk (see end of article).<\/div>\n

In order to function properly this new network will also syphon off a “small portion of [your] internet bandwidth, which is pooled together to create a network that benefits all Sidewalk-enabled devices in a community.<\/em>” The maximum bandwidth of a Sidewalk Bridge to the Sidewalk Server is just 80Kbps<\/strong> (or 0.08Mbps) and monthly data usage is capped at 500MB (MegaBytes), so you need not worry too much about it being a bandwidth hog.<\/p>\n

One other advantage of this is that if your broadband connection goes down then your Amazon devices (e.g. Ring security cameras and alarms) may continue to function, although at a data rate of 80Kbps they probably won’t be as effective as they were before (that’s only a little better than an old 1990s dialup<\/a> connection).<\/p>\n

So far as well can tell, Sidewalk will create a 900MHz<\/strong> based Long-Range (LoRa<\/strong>) Wide Area Network to establish and maintain itself. “Gateways are Amazon devices, like the Ring Floodlight Cam, that use 900 MHz (LoRa and\/or frequency-shift keying (FSK), and\/or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to provide connection to the Sidewalk network<\/em>,” said Amazon.<\/p>\n

Amazon Sidewalk White Paper<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“With connectivity support from the community, Amazon Sidewalk improves coverage, provides offline functionality, and enables troubleshooting to improve the smart home experience. By sharing a small portion of their home network bandwidth, neighbors give a little\u2014but get a lot in return. As a crowdsourced capability, security and privacy are foundational principles designed into all aspects of Sidewalk. Amazon Sidewalk is just one of many programs demonstrating Amazon\u2019s continued commitment to improving the overall experience of smart devices for our customers.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The White Paper (linked above) gives us a fair bit of confidence that Amazon has designed this new network in a fairly secure and privacy conscious way, which reminds us a little bit of BT<\/a>’s FON (shared WiFi<\/a>) solution on their broadband routers (different use case). Nevertheless, call us old fashioned, but we’d still be uncomfortable with this feature being enabled and shared with neighbours by default, which is Amazon’s current approach.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if you’ve already installed a raft of smart speakers that enjoy listening and recording your every word, then privacy may not be as high on your list as it is for others. We suspect that hackers will also see the new service as somewhat of a challenge to be overcome in the future.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Amazon has at least notified customers of the future service and pointed out how you can disable it (Open the ‘Amazon Alexa App<\/strong>‘ and browse to More > Settings > Account Settings > Amazon Sidewalk<\/em>). At present, this is only applicable to the USA, but we still think Amazon should not be enabling this by default (it just feels wrong not knowing what your device might be connecting to in your neighbourhood).<\/p>\n
