Kind of like Alexa sharing your internet connection with your neighbors?

Doesn't Comcast do something like this as well?

I realize it is such a small amount of data but that is a pretty sneaky way of getting a free ride.

The phones will pickup the Bluetooth beacon and relay the phone’s gps to the tracking service. 

Basically a GPS by proxy on behalf of the tracking token.

 

It relies on random folks wandering by and the Bluetooth token snagging enough “air time” to report home.

Being lazy and not wanting to do the research.

How do the air tags work.  In other words, how do they get connectivity to the world.  Most of the stuff I have read talks about blue tooth but that isnt worth anything over distance.

 

I rent out some construction equipment and I am thinking of putting them on the equipment.  But I need a better understanding.
