Keep your belongings on the radar with this new accessory

Spoiled, clueless, forgetful or disorganized minds have great friends on the remote location plates. These small Bluetooth-enabled accessories can be easily used to locate lost objects. But there is a problem that affects the utility of most models. The fact is that without access to mobile data, many of these accessories do not work in full, losing their first functionality when they can not connect to the internet.

The new Samsung tracker does not fit into this group. The gadget, which uses low-power LTE-M to share its location, does not face distance or network obstacles as the reach of this technology exceeds the capacity of Bluetooth. According to the brand, it is even possible to locate an object that is in another building miles away.

Since it was developed under the SmartThings platform, the tracker can also be used as a sensor for activating commands in a smart house, communicating with the lamps to connect them, for example, or giving the command to the virtual assistant to call the music.Additionally, the badge can be configured to send notifications to the user's smartphone whenever they leave a certain area, or to send their location to close contacts by double-clicking the on / off button.The handset is on sale for $ 99. The South Korean brand offers a year of service, but after 12 months of use, it will have to pay about $ 50 a year for the LTE-M connection to be maintained. Note that the sensor can be attached to objects, pets or people, which in some cases may justify the cost.
