🔘 Tile is the easiest way to find your things. Simply attach this Tiny-Tag, a Bluetooth-Tile device to anything and find it with your smartphone. You can also use Tile to find your iPhone.
🔘 Tile saves time and money. It keeps you connected to the things that matter to you most, no matter where the day takes you.
🔘 Imagine a day when you don’t spend any time looking for misplaced keys or phones. Imagine a family trip where you never worry about whether your bags will make it to your destination.
🔘 Imagine being able to tell the police exactly where your stolen car is and getting it back in a matter of days. Tile gives your items a voice and allows you to connect with them in a way that was never before possible. It helps you stay organized in the midst of your crazy day- to-day routine, saving time and anxiety.
🔘 The promise of Tile is keeping people connected to their things that matter in their lives. It’s about growing a platform that is currently finding 250,000 things a day across the globe. We want to personally welcome you to our community and look forward to hearing about your experience.
🔘 Life can be chaotic. Tile’s Goal is to bring some calm to your life. Organization is key and there are lots of internet-thing-products that are designed to help people stay connected and in control when life gets in the way. People spend a lot of time trying to make this technology personal. Tile takes what is personal and enhances it with technology.
🔘 Everyone has misplaced their keys, phone, purse or wallet. If you’re lucky, a few minutes of modern archaeological digging between couch cushions or underneath the car seat will turn up your lost artifact. If you’re less fortunate, your misplaced item may require some traveling.
🔘 Tile, the Company, began its “life” in 2012 with a successful SelfStarter financing campaign. This relatively small, 1.5″ by ¼” (More precisely 5mm thin by 37mm) square plastic “tag” device can be placed on a Key-Ring, or affixed to any item you want to keep “track.” It an be easily be attach to a Key-Ring, placed into a purse or wallet, stick to just about anything, from a laptop or place into one’s luggage.
🔘 Tile uses a Bluetooth LE signal (LE= Low Energy, an ultra-low power form of Bluetooth, delivering 100 to 150 foot range) combined with Tile’s companion App on your iPhone or iPad. You’re then able to track your item’s whereabouts, either the Tile or the iPhone. If you cannot find your Car Keys with a Tile on the Ring, open up the Tile-App on your iPhone, and from the “List View” tap onto the item your looking for. Once “tapped” the Tile Square will emit a “chirping” sound. It’s location may also be displayed on a Map… in the event you left you Keys at the Coffee Shop or the Hotel Registration Desk, or in your Parked Car…
🔘 Tile’s Set-up is simple. Download the free Tile App, press a hidden “e” button on the Tile Square, and place the Tile on top of your iPhone’s screen. The Tile App recognizes and IDs this Unique Tile. You can assign this Tile to a specific object (Keys, Luggage, LapTop Case, Purse, or your Car) in the App. You may ID up to eight unique Tile Squares, giving each Tile a name (like “Wallet” “Car Keys” “Office Keys”). You are able to photograph the tagged item with a unique Photo, using the Tile App.
🔘 Tile Used Conversely – Assuming you have your Keys with the Tile Square attached, double-press the “e” in the word Tile, (under the letter “e” is a button similar to the “home” button on your iPhone) and your iPhone will begin playing a familiar Tile Toon, to help you find your iPhone, or it will display its location on a Map, using the Map-View.
🔘 Register each Tile is ID’ed and secured to the corresponding object. I chose to call one of the Tiles to be “JimW’s Keys” and notice one the Tile App List: “JimW’s iPad Mini-2” and “JimW’s iPhone6+” and “JimW’s iPad Pro” you can visit the Tile App to check where any of the items are located on a map.
🔘 If the Tile-equipped thing is somewhere in your house… and you can’t find it, you can tap “Find” in the Tile App, and it will emit a melody until you’ve successfully located it. The Tile App also shows you visually if you’re closer or further from the Tile when you’re in range, as you are walking around your home, office, grocery store, coffee shop, etc.
🔘 Tile’s Find-Me Range – The Tile generally has a bluetooth range of 100 foot to 150 foot radius for locating your Tile tagged Keys; the Tile device operates using a new Bluetooth LE signal. So if you leave it on the bus, you may be out of luck. Well, kind of. If another Tile user happens to be near your Tile, the system can “borrow their Bluetooth connection” to update your item’s location for you. In fact, part of the promise of Tile is that as more people adopt it, everyone will get more ubiquitous location tracking. Even if there aren’t other Tile users near your item, the app automatically records where your Tile was when it was last in range.
🔘 Tiles Lithium Battery will not last forever. The battery is designed to last about a year, according to the company, and you’ll get a reminder to order a new one around a year after you activate your new Tile.
🔘 Prone to losing things at home or in the office, a device like Tile will certainly make life easier. I tossed it in my briefcase, and basically forgot about it, unless I couldn’t remember which room I’d left it in last. Depending on the item(s) you tend to lose, the Tile’s form factor may still be a bit big (Tile is 1.5″ by ¼”) as it’s far too big to discreetly stick to a pair of sunglasses, for example. Still, $25 is a small price to pay for the peace of mind that comes with being able to track down your misplaced gear for a year or more.
🔘 Tile Trade-in Program – Tile uses a proprietary Lithium battery that is not user-replaceable; however, the Tile Company has a “trade-in” upgrade program. Once your Tile’s internal battery becomes exhausted, you can send the old Tile back to Tile Inc., San Mateo, California for an exchange for the most recent version New Tile for a fee of $12. The Tile App will give instructions on how to return your Old Tile for a replacement.
🔘 Tile Inc. Enterprise – An early stage private company was founded in 2012 and is owned by its principles and 10 investors, who in total raised some $33.1 million in equity. Phone Number: (650) 274-0676. Address: 2121 S El Camino Real C100, San Mateo, California 94403-1819. Website: http://ift.tt/11ewNhw

🔘 Tile Technically Speaking – Bluetooth low energy (Bluetooth LE, BLE, marketed as Bluetooth Smart) is a wireless personal area network technology designed and marketed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group aimed at novel applications in the healthcare, fitness, beacons, security, and home entertainment industries. Compared to Classic Bluetooth, Bluetooth Smart is intended to provide considerably reduced power consumption and cost while maintaining a similar communication range.
🔘 Bluetooth LE Smart technology operates in the same spectrum range (the 2.400 GHz-2.4835 GHz ISM band) as Classic Bluetooth technology, but uses a different set of channels. Instead of the Classic Bluetooth 79 1-MHz channels, Bluetooth Smart has 40 2-MHz channels. Within a channel, data is transmitted using Gaussian frequency shift modulation, similar to Classic Bluetooth’s Basic Rate scheme. The bit rate is 1Mbit/s, and the maximum transmit power is 10 mW. Further details are given in Volume 6 Part A (Physical Layer Specification) of the Bluetooth Core Specification V4. Bluetooth Smart uses frequency hopping to counteract narrowband interference problems. Classic Bluetooth also uses frequency hopping but the details are different; as a result, while both FCC and ETSI classify Bluetooth technology as an FHSS scheme, Bluetooth Smart is classified as a system using digital modulation techniques or a direct-sequence spread spectrum.

As my friends, family and students know, I am an avid and early iPad adopter since its release April, 2010. When Apple releases their Retina-Display iPad PRO, (having sold my MacBook Pro to Gazelle.com) I applied the proceeds to purchase iPad PRO; with 128GB of Storage, AT&T connectivity, plus Apple Pencil and added Logitech’s Keyboard Case, with a DECODED natural leather slip-over protective folio.
