boAt TAG: Details

 

Compatible with Android smartphones, boAt TAG integrates with Google's Find My Device network for lost item tracking. Find My Device is essentially a crowdsource network that uses several Android smartphones to locate a specific device listed on the network.

The company said that the tracker utilises Google's Find My Device network and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to offer semi-real-time location tracking. Once the item attached to the tracker is lost, users can mark it as "Lost" and receive accurate location updates and directions to it. The boAt TAG also comes with a built-in 80dB alarm that produces a loud beeping sound, making it simple to locate belongings quickly. In addition to this, TAG provides alerts for any unknown trackers nearby, helping users quickly identify and address unauthorised tracking attempts.

 

The new boAt tracker comes with a user-replaceable battery, while the company claims up to one year battery life for each cell. The object tracker comes with a battery, a lanyard, and double-sided tape within the box.
