Amazon will soon launch a new feature to their devices that will allow users of their devices in sharing a slice of their internet connection with their neighbors. The feature is called Sidewalk and is scheduled to automatically enroll the owner of their devices on June 8, according to a USA Today report.

Despite the multiple reports of Amazon Sidewalk's launch, USA Today pointed out that Amazon cannot be reached for comment.

What is Amazon Sidewalk?

The Verge reported that Amazon Sidewalk is meant to help extend the range of their low-bandwidth devices, as well as making location devices such as Tile more effective. Furthermore, Amazon Sidewalk will share a portion of an individual's internet "bandwidth that is pooled together to provide services to you and your neighbors." Amazon noted in USA Today that "more neighbors participate, the network becomes stronger."

However, PC Mag noted that Amazon Sidewalk would not allow an individual to access the Wi-Fi of a neighbor and stream a video. The outlet noted that the Sidewalk would allow connecting a smart device and still function if in case there is a power outage, but the data cap of 500 per month will not allow the device to send a video stream.

Several Rings by Amazon will also be eligible for the Sidewalk such as the 2019 Wired-Ring Spotlight Cam, 2019 2019 Ring Floodlight Cam, and the 2019 Ring Spotlight Cam Mount.
