stuff low energy and could be put on your towers. Uses 900Mhz GSM band
for the IOT network.

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.
