Unlike the original JioTag, which had ecosystem limitations, the JioTag 2 can be used to track keys, wallets, luggage, backpacks, and other valuables regardless of the user's smartphone.
Features and Design
The tracker connects via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and does not require a SIM card or a mobile data plan.
When an item goes beyond Bluetooth range, the tracker uses the global Find My and Find Hub networks to report its approximate location through nearby compatible devices.
