If you’re wondering about Amazon Sidewalk and whether it will work in your country, here’s what you need to know. Currently, Amazon Sidewalk is only available in the United States. It reaches over 90% of the U.S. population but has not yet been introduced in countries outside the U.S., including Brazil. There haven’t been any official announcements or timelines for expanding Amazon Sidewalk to other parts of the world.
Amazon Sidewalk is a shared network that helps connect various smart devices by using existing Amazon devices like Echo and Ring to act as gateways. These gateways create a network that allows other devices, such as sensors or trackers, to connect without needing their own internet connection. The network uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for short-range communication and LoRa or FSK radio protocols at 900MHz for longer distances. This setup helps devices stay connected over a broader area and reduces the need for additional infrastructure.
The key benefit of Amazon Sidewalk is that it leverages the infrastructure of Amazon devices already in many homes, making it easier and more cost-effective for service providers and utility companies to set up monitoring systems. They don’t have to invest in building and managing their own network gateways.
Right now, there’s no public info about testing or launching Amazon Sidewalk outside the U.S., or plans for future expansion. If you’re interested in whether Amazon Sidewalk might come to Brazil or other countries someday, your best move is to contact AWS Support or the AWS IoT team directly. However, specific contact details are not publicly available, so keeping an eye on official AWS announcements is a good idea.
Sources for more information include the AWS blog post about AWS IoT Core and Amazon Sidewalk integration, and the official AWS documentation on Amazon Sidewalk for IoT devices.
