技术问答

In an increasingly connected world, the IoT has become an integral part of our daily lives. From smart home devices to wearable gadgets, IoT devices are making us more productive, healthier, and bringing new levels of convenience. But robust and reliable connectivity is critical. Enter Amazon Sidewalk, a shared wireless network designed to extend the reach of IoT devices beyond the confines of our homes. This not only revolutionizes IoT connectivity but also bridges the gap between neighborhoods.

What Is Amazon Sidewalk?

With the idea of making our world smarter, safer, and more interconnected, Amazon Sidewalk comes as a novel concept that leverages existing Amazon Echo and Ring devices as bridges to create a neighborhood-wide network. It not only revolutionizes IoT connectivity by extending the range of devices but also bridges the gap between homes and neighborhoods.

Here’s how it works:

A Shared Network: Amazon Sidewalk allows compatible devices to communicate with each other over a shared network. This network extends beyond individual homes, connecting devices across a broader area.
Low-Bandwidth, Long-Range Connectivity: Amazon Sidewalk provides reliable connectivity even at low bandwidths. It’s ideal for devices such as outdoor lights, motion sensors, and location-based trackers.
Communication Protocols: Amazon Sidewalk uses multiple communication protocols:
Bluetooth Low Energy (LE): For short-distance communication within a home.
CSS and FSK Radio Protocols: These operate at 900 MHz frequencies, enabling longer-range communication.

The Architecture of Amazon Sidewalk

Amazon Sidewalk’s architecture consists of three layers:

Radio Layer

Amazon Sidewalk devices communicate using Bluetooth LE, CSS, or FSK.
The application layer sits on top of the Bluetooth LE stack for Bluetooth LE devices.
For FSK and CSS, there’s an additional network layer.

Network Layer

Handles routing and forwarding of data between devices.
Ensures seamless communication across the Amazon Sidewalk network.

Application Layer

Manages device-specific applications and services.
All Amazon Sidewalk devices connect to the cloud via AWS IoT Core for Amazon Sidewalk.
