The JioTag Air is actually the second item tracker from Jio. It’s a follow-up to last year’s JioTag.
In an era where losing personal items can cause undue stress and inconvenience, Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio has come out with “JioTag Air”, a sleek and efficient solution to keep track of your valuables. This small, versatile item tracker can be attached to items prone to misplacing and losing, such as keys, ID cards, wallets, purses, luggage, and even pets. For our tech savvy readers, you can think of JioTag Air as a home-grown alternative to Apple’s AirTag.
JioTag Air: A versatile tracker for all users
JioTag Air offers compatibility with both Apple and Android ecosystems, catering to a broad range of users. Apple users can pair JioTag Air with the Apple Find My app, allowing the device to send a continuous, secure Bluetooth signal detectable by nearby devices in the Find My network, including iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
Android users, on the other hand, can leverage the JioThings App to track their tagged items. The JioThings community find network is rapidly expanding as more devices come under the JioThings umbrella, including JioMotive, JioTag, JioBook, LTE Smartwatches, and other upcoming IoT products, Jio says. This growing network ensures that the reach and effectiveness of JioTag Air’s tracking capabilities will continue to improve.
This network of millions of Apple devices worldwide ensures that the JioTag Air can be located anywhere on the globe, with its location updated in real-time on the Find My app.
