REUTERS: Amazon.com said on Wednesday it is developing a longer-range equivalent to Bluetooth and WiFi wireless protocols that the largest US online retailer hopes third parties will eventually use in smart devices.

Sidewalk uses the low bandwidth 900 megahertz spectrum to extend the distance at which IoT devices can be controlled, and requires less power than needed for WiFi, Amazon said. Amazon, which started out selling books, has a history of exploring new ventures, such as making original TV shows for subscribers to its Amazon Prime service. It has emerged as one of the Big Four technology companies along with Alphabet Inc, Apple Inc and Facebook Inc, and is a leading cloud services provider.It plans to publish the new network protocol - rules that govern communication between connected devices - so developers can use it for new products.
